main relay is not that expensive.
took me only about 20 minutes to replace it on 91 civic.

i have a new main relay as well as about 5 spares from the junkyard. i been swapping them in and out to no avail. same problem. also the check enginr light on the dash seems to be on allthe time but no codes are flashing on ecu.

sounds like you missed a ground or something... check the one on the thermostat housing... that would be my guess

Ya, definitely sounds like a ground issue. Make sure you have both the ground on the head to the chassis and the one for the starter on the passengers side. If you are missing one of those then you will get some weird issues like that.

so. i also agree that it sounds like a ground problem. all the grounds are there and unchanged from when the car ran. i found the other night while troubleshooting that when i hit the brake pedal the red light on the ecu goes out, something ckicks in my seatbelts and some beeping goes off. so i did some main relay swapping and now the red light does not stay red, it flashes as if normal when the key is turned on. car still wont start though. whats the brake pedal have to do with this? help

sound haunted you wouldent catch me driven it i have firm beliefs in cars having feelings iv had some weird shit happen
