i still haven't figured it out. i dont think it is the battery, because i tried to jump it, and it didn't work. i swapped another battery inand it still didn't work, but i dunno if it's because the othe rbattery is dead because i've had it sitting for while. i will look into it again tmr or the next day on my day off. i just don't understand why only in the mornings. the rest of the day runs completely normal...i tried to listen this morning, i think i'm hearing a faint click coming from the fuel pump, but i'm not sure.

 

extremely unlikely to have a fuel pump fail. My 13 hondas I have had thus far , most with over 200k miles and 3 with over 300k miles never replaced a fuel pump before, relay yes

 

you need to provide more details....

do you hear the fuel pump prime up when you turn the ignition to ON?

 

when it doesn't start, i don't hear the fuel pump prime. can anyone tell me how i can get to teh fuel pump relay? i can't seem to find anything on the forum. thanks

 

I searched "fuel pump relay" and came up with lots of good info and pics from the "Electronics Helms Book".Try your search again.Also read about why u should check the relay first before changing the fuel pump and the tests to run to see if your getting power to the fuel pump.The relay could even just be loose.If the fuel pump doesn't prime when u turn the key, then my original diagnosis was most likely correct.Count it Keep us updated.

 

let us know what you find out. did you check the ground wire?

what noise do you hear if any?

 

sorry it took so long guys. i went to the junk yard yesterday and picked up the fuel pump main relay. swapped it last night and everything seems to be working fine so far. thanks for all your help .
