Code 20 is eletrical load, but maybe that means bad ground too? Anyway, yes..the main relay is supposed to click once when u turn the key to start, and again when the CEL turns off, then again I believe while your starting the car.
Also, yes.. the main relay going out is a common problem on early hondas. It shouldn't be an issue now though, since it typically happens when the ambient temperature is hot, like summer. So I don't believe your relay is the culprit. Have u checked plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and fuel pump? If it is your relay though, it costs about $70 at most dealerships, but the new relay is supposed to be alot better.
