Default 2002 civic ex crank won't start

I replaced the ignition switch (done by the local garage) and that seemed to work for a few months. Then the problem started again, crank and no start. Everything I find on the internet said to solder the PGMFI main, but my car doesn't seem to have that -has a fuel pump relay located behind the glove box, I replaced that yesterday and today still have the same problem. The crank no start is intermitant, so makes it difficult. I have not stalled and no issues at all when the car is running, so now am at a complete loss of what to do. Have 332K miles on this car. thanks for any replies.

Do a goggle search for "Honda 2002 civic main relay location"
(In a 1991 crx, it's directly above the hood release bolted to the wall.)

When my 1991 crx si had the crank but no start problem, I resoldered all the traces in the main relay which fixed the problem. (Sold the crx in 2014, parts getting hard to find and tricky to smog in San Jose, California)

See attached image.
Main relay before I resoldered. Any solder that looks darker (#5 and many others) or cracked (#1, #4, #6) is suspect.
Note: other relays could be having the same problem.

Take care,
ChrisS
