Engine Won't Start
 
I realized that the gas pump relay was not working after trying to start my car... It cranked a couple of times but then stopped completely... The battery level is good and has not lost any power... i tried starting it up at night and heard the gas pump relay working fine and the battery level was very good. There was no crank and if i held the ignition at start, the gas pump could be heard.

Can the starter be the issue? What can it be?

my main relay and starter on my 93 hatch were the issues that did not allow it start... It is that time i change the relay and starter....

For a new one you should expect around $50 if I'm not mistaken. That's for the oem replacement. Dealership will have them of course, or can get one. Ebay may have used, fixed ones, as well as new. Otherwise I know both www.hondaautomotiveparts.com
and http://www.partsgeek.com(A+ shipping) carry them.

Otherwise you could just re-flow or, preferably, replace the solder on the old one. Normally it's just the solder joints that are bad.
I re-flowed mine, same exact relay. Not hard but take your time and best to wait just a bit after you've flowed one joint if you need to go at it again. If you get it too hot it can burst, spraying a small amount of solder in your face.

Good idea to wear glasses.

at first i didn't hear my gas pump when i turned the ignition key, but when i tapped the relay i then could hear the gas pump... I think i damaged the starter when the engine was cranking only. I went back and tapped it realy lightly and boom it started......

I might just go with a new relay and look online for a deal....

Thanks for the advised.... :)
