It is in the manual page 65 ,.

Check crank position sensor.

I replaced the main relay assembly.

The power wire that you are looking for is green with white tracer and the ground wire is Black.Use a test light to confirm it powers with the brake before you hook it up

There should be several in the block, but there may only be two sizes.

do you have any codes

check the fuse for the fuel pump first and let me know

OVERHEATING GUIDE:CAUTION! Safety first. Be extremely careful when looking into or putting your hands or any other body part into your engine compartment. Use safety glasses. Keep all body parts away from open carburetor or air intake -- assume it will backfire. Backfires can produce blindness and/or third degree burns. Keep long hair VERY securely pinned up, remove all jewelry, do not wear loose clothing while working on a car. Heed these warnings even when the car is not running. Remember, modern cars have electric fans that can turn on at any time.Be careful not to short the battery -- battery explosions can throw potentially burning/blinding acid. Don't open the radiator cap of an overheated car. When it's cool enough to open, use a rag to block any spray, and open very slowly. Wear hard shoes capable of shielding impact from a dropped part.Take proper precautions when jacking up a car so the jack doesn't "kick out". A "kicked out" jack can be every bit as destructive as a kick from a large horse. Block the wheels, put on the brakes, seat the jack properly. Never crawl under a jacked up car unless it has been properly blocked up and completely secured. Even then, remember that earthquakes, sudden wind and drunk driver impacts happen. A professional lift is always best.The preceding warnings are by no means an exhaustive list of the risks encountered when working on a car. Always use common sense. You assume full and complete responsibility for the use of the information on this page.This isn't just theory. An old skating buddy lost a finger when his wedding ring was grabbed by a fan belt. I met a guy at MacDonalds who spent 2 weeks in the hospital when an open-carb backfire caused third degree burns over most of his forarm. Skin graft city. Imagine if his face had been by that carb.

check the bulb holders first ,it could be the wrong bulb ,normally a single pole bulb but you may have fitted a double pole stop/tail light bulb by mistake ,Common fault i have come across

the map sensor would probably throw a code if it were bad. they do sometimes get gunked up and dont read the right air volume. you might want to check the fuel rail and injectors to make sure they aren't going bad on you. also fuel pump and filter and fuel line, you could have a kink.

Its a light grey square box. U will either find it under the dash around the steering column or on the driver side up the inside fender area. Take it out and resolder all the hairline cracks and it will be good as new.

At this site I show the relay can be had for $25.00BECK/ARNLEY Part # 2030228 Main Relay( fuel pump) $24.79

A relay has two sides to it-the power feed and the line to the pump is the one side of the relay. The other side is the "coil side"-what makes the relay switch on and pass power from the power feed to the fuel pump wire. The coil side has a signal from one source-your computer-and the other coil side wire goes to ground, usually. When the coil side is activated by a signal from computer, the other side of relay closes contacts so power is passed to the fuel pump.Don't know if a switch will work there, but you could try it. You may need to look at a wiring diagram. If the coil doesn't get a signal from the computer, there may be other problems, like in your wiring or in the computer.

Look for cabin filter, if there is any on a 1990 Accord... not sure... Or make sure you're not recycling air from inside but taking it from outside (option on the heather control). Or air conduit bloked. First three thing to look. Hope it help.

your water pump might have broke I just had the same exact problem the pulley either broke or the blades on the inside

Check your transmission fluid level first before doing anything else, and also note the color of the fluid. If it's dark then it needs to be changed. If it's low, you should do a transmission fluid change and fill it with 2.6 quarts of Hobda ATF fluid

Check your fuses and relays first. The radio fuse also controls the seat belt shoulder harnesses, dash clock, and lighter. Check all your fuses and replace any blown ones. There is a fuse panel in your engine bay and one on the driver's side under the dash near your door

Check to make sure the plugs are tight and torqued to manufacturer's specs. Also, your Valve cover gasket(s) may need replaced.

All I can add is-- why would you drive a caryou just noticed had a leakLet it cool yesFill it yesUse it- no wayHave it towed to a shop maybe
