    sounds more like a timing belt or dizzy problem. Unless you mean you can't hear the fuel pump prime? In that case I would check the main fuses under the hood and the altenator fuse in the fuse box before going through all the trouble of replacing a fuel pump. As far as which pumps will work, and obdo (88-91) civic pump should fit. Probably be able to use 90-91 acura integra pumps as well. I'm sure others could be used, but I would try and find those first.

    What about the relay for the pump? Common problem on these hondas

    I just changed my pump couple weeks ago. darktrickster been helping me out with my wagon (knows whats up) I used a crx 91 pump cause the eg/ek pumps are smaller and the 6 holes on top will not line up with your wagon if you were thinking of just taking the whole assembly.

    Any ef civic, crx, wagon, 88-91 full assembly will fit.

    Hakusoka makes a good point! While the fuel pumps are not particularly problematic, the fuel pump relay mounted just above the hood release handle by your left knee is! Hold it with your left hand and turn the ignition key to the "run" position and you should feel it as well as hear it "click". They can be intermittent, so be sure that $10.00 part is good before going after an expensive fuel pump!

    That is for the 2WD Wagons. The RT4WD have a different pump assembly, but it should still use the same fuel pump.

    Definitely check the main relay. I've never heard of a bad main relay causing the car to die while it's running, but I suppose it's possible. Usually they just cause an intermittent no start condition. I nursed my 88 crx along for a while by keeping a small container of gas in the car to "prime" it by pouring a little on the air filter. This gave it enough to start then the fuel pump would take over. I can only assume that the added voltage from the alternator was enough to overcome the resistance in the main relay. Fixing the main relay is really easy however, just do a search and you will find plenty of write-ups on it. They are in the same location on the wagons as any of the other EF's btw.

    ok so after find it out it the cap melted an the rotor was missing the screw and the coil pack melted to i put in new cap and rotor and used fuel pump from the junk yard i kept the old one just in case i could not buy coil pack not nuff money so i put the old one back in it started up and ran fine for two days and yester day it started but would die when i gived it some gas so this morning i clean the coil pack nd put the spring back in and it started right up i think i need to replace the coil pack also see the battery light and oil light come's on but it still starts but if u guy have any ideas on what els it could be let me know
  • wago671wago671 Wagonist
    It really seems like you need a new coil pack and a Alternator.
    The alternator isn't getting enough power to the battery causing it to be very low. (happened to me on my old crx) I changed it and it worked fine after that. It could be something stupid also. Idk why the oil light would come on unless it's really really low on oil...
