The Spectacle

Hi everybody! For those of you who are new to TR, I'm Spectacle...you may remember me from such threads as:

Ok its time to fix my car...I need EVERYONE'S help
It ran. Then it died. Woah is me.
No turbo, still problems....
Bad o2??? What to do...THE PROBLEMS NEVER END!

As you can see, in my never ending quest to get this god forsaken bastard of a car to run correct I've run into a few "snags". Well today I met up with Blake to get OBD1 stock injectors put in the car. We met up @ McDonald's, I popped my hood to show him the resistor box and injectors and when I went to start the car back up it started then died 3 seconds later. This has happened MANY times before but this was the first time someone else was under the hood to look at the fuel pressure gauge when it died. Blake said he saw my fuel pressure go steadily down until the car shut off. After a few minutes he had me keep turning the key to "on" and we waited until the gauge saw pressure before we started it again. When this happens I have to get it to start then immediately floor the gas to "clear it" so to speak in order for it to stay running. Once I do this, the idle comes down to its normal levels and the car runs with no problems. So other then that and the aformentioned bad gas mileage and weird hesitation mentioned in the o2 thread above I think I've got all the other problems figured out. My leaking cam seal has stopped....I narrowed that down to synthetic oil. The regular dino oil I have in it now does not leak.

Question is this...is my problem:

A: injectors
B: bad fuel pump
C: main relay
D: o2 sensor

New o2 sensor is already on the way. Main relay is next on my list. Many people have told me that if it was injectors the car wouldn't run correctly @ all so that's a slim possiblity. Plus Trip has already rewired those himself with solder and heat shrink so that further guides me away from that. Fuel pump I have no idea about....but its not as easy to check or switch out as people think because of my custom stereo shit back there. So i'm thinking its the main relay.

Thoughts?

replace everything.....

I would back when I was big ballin...but since I got this apartment I've become an honrary member of the "brokeasfuq" crew. I've got a long trip coming up next week I believe...and I want to somewhat confident that the car can make it there and back. But like I said i'm short on dinero. I've only got enough money to replace one more thing this month.

check over your fuel lines make sure that none of them are leaking. if not my guess is a faulty fuel pump, but it is only a guess.

Fuel pump.. Same shit happened to me on my old Ls-t setup. Shoulda just left it boosted

At least its the sexiest car in the world, like I've stated before, if my car looked that good, I would push it around

How dose it go? Call a Whaaaaaambulance!! Do i have that right? Anyways....I would say it's your main relay. It's hard to say because by what your are describing it sounds like more then a main relay.

I honestly don't think i've laughed harder today. Thank you.

MrLHT

It could be many things. Thowing parts at it will just cost money and wasted time. Have it properly checked to find out which part needs to be replaced.
The main relay should click when the CEL cycles on and off.

Does the VTEC feel good ?

The Spectacle

from the passenger seat it does I can barely feel it driving. But today riding shotgun that fucker felt like it was in my lap
