I drive an EK coupe, I just ran SOHC turbo, everything worked fine but now I did a swap to b16A i start my car, everything turns over but it didn't crank. so i tried again, only nothing. my fuel pump didn't even come on. I'm thinking it might be my fuel main relay. but idk how to jump it because i ran a light tester to it and everything off the feul main relay plug is putting out 12v power and there's one that doesn't put anything out. if somebody can help me out or tell me what they think it might be i'd appreciate it greatly!

like as in no power or cranking then i say check all your fuses under the hood and under the dash. also if the car gets power but the starter doesnt get power it possibly could be the clutch start switch its on the clutch pedal its a safety button that gets pushed when you push the clutch in. could possibly not be getting pushed or just is no good anymore. also if you get power and the car cranks crack a line on the fuel rail to see if fuel is coming out. if not again check the fuses fuses can blow easily when hookin and unhookin a battery well i have always had bad luck with the fuses. like the main batt fuse or the fuel pump fuse etc and so on. check all those things they are cheap and easy so that way those can be ruled out.

check for actual fuel presssure from the rail or just crack open the rail but id recommend a gage its under pressure then go from that if you dont know how to jump the relay then just jump the pump it self you could have a bad dizzy not sending injector pulse and this isnt me trying to be funny but check if you got gas in the tank lol......also check the fuse under the hood top left its a 15amp mini

lol, i have like a half tank of gas. and i'm thinking it might be my main or fuel relay. my fuel pump came on and then my car started to turn over, then i stopped for a second because of the position i was in trying to start it ( i was standing outside my car lol) so i got in and then tried again, then this time the fuel pump did not come on. so i'm thinking it's one of those fuses. but i don't know why it would work one second then the next blow out?
