Alright,
Well it appears that when i turn on the preiginition; I see the
check engine light on , i also hear the fuel pump turn on. This
only happens initially. After I have it running and try it again
only the check engine light goes on. The fuel pump doesn't seem to
engage and the car doesn't start. Though it only started once when
it was in neutral. Could this tstill be the main relay? The check
engine light never really stayed on for a long time until only
recently only after I had my brakes done.

Also, if I try to get a honda diagnostic setting I get a 'constant'
check engine light. Does appear to have a corresponding id to a
part or system.

I also had the fuel pump replaced by a shop, only to have this
condition carry on.

Regards,
John
