Hi guys,

My 3rd gen accord is a project car. Its a manual tranny and fitted with a carb, really old school model. I have an issue with fuel supply to the carb. I am trying to locate the fuel pump relay and searched on many forums. I gathered that for this model, they dont call it fuel pump relay but fuel cut-off relay. Whatever you call it, i reckon this is what runs your pump the way it should eg it turns on the pump upon turning the key and shuts it off when it should. I think my relay is playing tricka on me. So, what is the test process for the relay. Havent comw across any forum that tells me that.

PS. I have not yet located the relay but the manual says its right next to the fuse box and based on ebay pictures, it has 4 terminal that are all aligned together. Kindly confirm if this is accurate

Cheers

 

It is located up under the drivers side dash assembly. Go the Bernardi Honda, go the parts section, look up your car, go the the electrical/fuel section, look for the fuel relay section. Your part will be number one on the list. Look at the parts diagram and find part number 1 and you will see exactly where it is located. Good luck.

 

I'll dig up a pic for you.

On the carb'd models it is in/on the underdash fues panel.

 

Here are some pic's. I'll be honest, can't say that I've seen these relays fail. So not sure of the issue you are having but there are TWO fuel filters I would change, next there is a "sight glass" on the side of the carb where you can see/watch the fuel level inside the bowl.

 

Thanks poorman212. Hey where'd you get those materials ??? They're different from the one i have downloaded. Yours look great.

 

I can't remember where I got that download...It is the best of all of the others I've run across. It is a sevice manual for the 89 Accord(s). So there are some of the "mid-gen" changes I have to try to remember....there are some differences between the 86-87 vs the 88-89, they are minor but still can trip me up if I'm not careful....small example, look at the front bumper lights on the early ones vs the late ones
