Need help with fuel pump or ECU problem

[dancoco808]

hi guys,

have a eg civic with b18c and hondata s300. car is unable to start. previously no problems. today when doing some interior work on the car and removing loosely run and unused audio cables;

i noticed the positive wire from the ecu relay to fuel pump had been poorly installed (under the seats and along side raid) and the insulation had been worn right through. the wire had made contact with the body/ground. im suspecting this caused a short and possibly caused damage to the fuel pump or ecu or relay?

i have checked all ECU fuses in the engine bay and kick panel (although box says 7.5A, but has 15A fuses in it), and none of the fuses were busted.

all accessory power works, engine cranks fine, but does not start/fire. im unsure if i am meant to hear the fuel pump prime when turning the key to acc/on, but i cannot hear it.

anyone have any experience on the matter?

cheers,
- dan.
