I have a SX16 integra that is not starting. It was an intermitent problem but now will not start at all. Turn key to on and check engine light doesn't come on or fuel pump start. I can hear some relays click but not the one for the fuel pump,(main relay?) that I hear when the problem is not there. I have read about the main relays but cannot seem to find one in my car (I have looked under both sides of the dash).
Am I missing something or do I not have the same relay in my car? If so what am I looking for?

Yes car turns over, just no fuel from pump unless relay clicks and then will run fine.

ok, do you know if there is power getting to the relay? maybe you can bypass the relay to see if it is the issue or if the fuel pump is just ****ed

no problem with fuel pump because when the relay clicks it works fine.
Problem is with the relay or before hand, does anyone know which relay I need to look at and where it is located?

Get an auto sparky to come to you and tell him that the ignition relay needs to be re soldered or you may need a new one... same thing went on my 86 teg and it end up costing me $30 to get the dry solder joins fixed.

Do you recall the name of the sparky you used?
I had one come out and he knew nothing..... tryed to tell me it was my battery, then alarm, then he didn't know and charged me $50!
