Hello:

I posted this over at honda-acura.net and didn't get any replies, hoping to have better luck here. My girlfriend's car is a 2000 Civic EX which broke down on the highway the other day. She claims it made a strange sound suddenly and the gas pedal became unresponsive. She pulled over and shut off the car, and it hasn't started since. It cranks, but does not actually start. I had it towed back to my house and have been messing with it since.

My first theory was fuel, so I decided to remove the back seat and test for voltage.



I had her sit in the front as I tested for voltage at the brown connector seen in the above picture; I don't seem to get any sort of reading other than a few mV. My understanding is that this connector should have a 12v reading while the vehicle is being cranked. I checked the fuse and also replaced the main relay (next to the glovebox) and the issue persisted. Still no voltage reading at that connector.

My next guess would normally be to try replacing the fuel pump, but that seems almost silly since the pump doesn't seem to even be getting any power.



Thoughts?

Dash fuse box #13, 31

Pump wires
yellow/green (hot) and black (ground)

If no hot at the pump then backprobe at the main relay, get a good diagram and check all inputs and outputs at the main relay, see why it isn't turning on at the right time.....
