91 accord fuel problem PLEASE HELP!!!
Ok i have a 91 accord with 255xxx miles on it i was driving the other day and it cut off on me, i t has new alternator starter battery etc.. So i have changed the main relay,the ecu, fuel regulator and the fuel pump with a used fuel pump out of another running honda that was wrecked and it still will not start. There is no fuel pressure at all when I unhook the line from the fuel line there is no fuel at all. I can hear the relay kick in when i turn the key and it has the correct voltage on all pins but the fuel pump does not turn on and it is getting 12 volts to it and has a good ground. Can someone please tell me what is going on and how to test my fuel pump? COuld the new one be bad now even tho it came off a running car with the same amount of miles on it? Please help me someone i need my car back on the road.

i know you don't have any fuel at the rail and i'm guessing you don't hear the pump whine when you turn the key on but just for shits and giggles check to see if you have spark. i'm not worried about the ignition system being jacked i'm thinking the computer took a shit. why did you originally replace the ECU and how long ago was that? and obv if you haven't already check all the proper fuses including those for the ECU

Then you seriously need to get a new pump. That bag is a filter and also serves to absorb gasoline up towards the inlet of your fuel pump, and since you stated that you took it off of another vehicle with 255k miles I am guessing that it is on it's last leg anyways.

if you don't have fuel pressure you don't have combustion... Here is a good trick, have somebody spray some carb cleaner into your throttle body while you crank it over and see if it starts...

Re: 91 accord fuel problem PLEASE HELP!!!
there should be another cover similar to the one you already took out somewhere close by. i don't know exactly where on that car. then change it... you already changed all the other stuff.
