- Tue May 04, 2010 5:01 pm #191778 ok heres the problem. everytime i went to get gas or floored the car completly and then turned it off. the car would turn on and then comeplty die. and wouldnt start for at least 15 min. and my fuel pressue said like 5. an after about 10 min it worked fine.

now today i go to turn my car on in the morning and it starts and dies right away. i check the fuel pressre and its 0. so i changed the fuel pump and still it says 0 and i dont even here my fuel pump turning on.

Honda redisigned the new relay so that it wont have the issues the old one did. If you pop a junkyard one in, chances are you'll be playing this game again at some point.
