My honda is still not getting fuel,even after replacing the main fuel/pump relay. I can't hear the fuel pump come on. It took several tries 2 days ago, now it won't get fuel at all. Should I replace the fuel pump? Do they act up a few times then die? I might add that when the car wouldn't start the other day, I couldn't hear the fuel pump click on. But then I tried a few times more and as soon as I heard the fuel pump,it started right up! But like I said now there's no sound from the fuel pump. One more thing several months before when I would drive the car it would go but being kind of gutless. It would have more power at times. In the morning I would have to pump it once and start it 2 or 3 times before it would stay running. I thought it was the injectors being dirty but could it be from the fuel pump going? Help me figure this out please:)

Why are you so sure the problem lies in the fuel system? Also I don't see how you could hear the fuel pump over the sound of the starter motor. But yes, when they start to die they will work intermitently so it could be that.

Be sure to answer the 3 basic diagnostic questions, check all under-dash and under-hood fuses, and check for codes.
