Check your fuel pressure. No pressure means the pump is not running or defective. Check for voltage at the pump harness and pump relay. If you have voltage and fuel pressure to spec, then you have some other issue, and the fuel pump is not the problem.
Your new fuel pump is apparently defective. A fuel pump is required to supply fuel to the engine, and the engine cannot run (and of course not start) without a supply of fuel.
installed wrong or bad fuel pump
A fuel pump relay switch can cause your car to stall after starting. A malfunctioning fuel pump relay switch can cause your car to not start at all.
it needs replacing
Check that the 'new' fuel pump is actually pumping.
yes it will run for a few seconds, then turn off. Its fuel related. More than likely on a 24 year old car the fuel pump needs replacing. But before replacing the fuel pump replace the fuel filter and fuel pump relay. That may solve your problem.
There are many different reasons for that... It can be faulty fuel pump. It can be low pressure in the fuel line. It can be faulty fuel pump relay and etc.
When replacing car parts it is important to have the diagrams for the wiring. The wiring diagram for the fuel pump of this car can be found in its maintenance manual.
It can cost between $80 and $300 to replace the fuel pump in this car. It will depend on where a person gets the part and who does the replacing.
Before you go dropping that fuel tank if you are replacing the fuel pump, look for an access panel above the fuel pump inside the car. Some Hondas have one.
this question makes no sense ? i assume you mean prevent the car from cranking??? if so then no. a bad fuel pump may stop the car from running or starting but it should not stop it from cranking. a bad fuel pump relay could stop the car from cranking but that would depend on the year make and model of your car.
If it has an electric fuel pump you will be able to hear it hum when you turn the car to the run posistion. If you can not hear it hum then its bad. On a mechanical fuel pump you can loosen on of the lines and crank the vehicle. If no fuel comes out the it is bad
