    Main relay clicks on my 89 honda
    I have an 89 honda with an ls swap, and it was running fine then the one time when I go to start, I turn the ignition on to auxiliary not trying to start it and the main relay clicks until I turn the key off. I replaced the main relay and fuses are fine. What else could be the problem? Thank

    If the CEL stays on, the ECM may be bad.

    Perform the K-Test on your ECM:

    The K-Test: Remove the MAP Sensor connector and turn the ignition switch to ON (Position II). Using a multimeter, check for 5 volts going between the MAP Sensor connector's reference wire (+) and ground. As you look at the connector, this is the socket on the right. Really press the black test lead into a cleaned main ECM ground on the thermostat housing. If the voltage is low, it's probably indicating ECM failure. Most failed ECMs will record a fraction of a volt. To me, the K-Test is simple, elegant, and accurate.

    Is the "new" ECM any good?
