fuel

[kennycm]

my mechanic told me that my fuel pump is causing me problems, i just want to know, where is my fuel filter, how much is it to replace and how much is a fuel pump. oh yeah, i have an 89 automatic sei. please reply this has been going on for a long time.
this started being a problem when my car would turn over but it wouldn't fire even though i had that tested and i have fire coming from the plugs, distributor and coil. please let me know about this fuel thing, it's an emergency.

Pump is farely easy to change, it is located behind the rear seats.
Lift the carpet up in the trunk and you will see 2 round panels about 5" round, the one on the drivers side has the pump under it.
to be safe disconnect batt. then just replace pump !

Here's the fuel pump http://www.c-speedracing.com/howto/fuelpump/fuelpump.html
i'm digging the filter info.
But the filter is on the right side, on the firewall, next to the throttle body. Fairly easy to change.

This should be enough to help you through the install. http://www.c-speedracing.com/howto/fpgauge/fpgauge.html

Where exactly is the filter?

[GreenMachine]

Filter is in the engine bay, pass side on the firewall you should see it, it is about 3" round with 2 lines comin from the firewall into it

In tank performcance pumps for our cars, i don't know of any. However you can install an inline pump like it did and will do the work or better, you'll have 2 pumps instead of 1.

I would definitely try the main realy first. When you turn the key to "On" you should hear a click, the check engine light should come on for about two seconds, then you should hear another click when the engine light goes off.

If this sequence does not occur and you then have the starting problem replace the main relay. It's $35 from hondaautomotiveparts.com. It is a commonly replaced part and causes the exact problem you are describing.

db master, i can't seem to find it on the website, is it under a different name?

[DBMaster]

Yeah, it's hard to find. In the drop down menu go to "Controller (1)." It's item number 008, "Relay Assy - Main."

It's tough to get to the bolt that holds the thing in the car. I know I'm not the only one who relocated it when installing the new one!

if is it hard to start when hot ! so it's propably a main relay , common problem for our efi cars ! does it make a click sound when you turn the ignition on !

[kennycm]

yeah, it does click
