Can a Honda fuel pump relay go bad?
DO NOT POST NUDITY OR PORN OR IT WILL BE DELETED! Thank you. Remember Me? If you have a Honda with a fuel pump relay, you probably know that the relay only energizes the fuel pump when the motor cranks. This can leave you stranded if the relay goes bad or you run out of fuel.
Where do you find the fuel pump relay?
When you shut off the ignition, it powers down the fuel pump. In most vehicles, the fuel pump relay can often be found in the fuse box in the engine bay, which is usually a long black box which contains fuel pump relay along with various other fuses and relays.
How do you clean a fuel pump relay?
Since any debris will affect the fuel pump relay’s performance, you should regularly inspect and clean it when necessary. The fuel pump relay is an electrical car part, thus be extremely careful when handling a relay. First, take off the relay and use the blower to blow off dirt and dust for about 1-2 minutes.
What kind of wire to bridge fuel pump relay?
The options are to bridge the relay with a jumper or wire in a switch. Be sure to use a switch that will stand a minimum of 5 amps. I bought a Radio Shack 25 Amp 12V rocker to wire in. Here is the relay. This is how you bridge the connector with a jumper wire. Black wire and Black w/Blue stripe wire on my ’83.
How does the fuel cutoff relay work on a Honda?
This will stop the fuel pump, so that gas will not be pumped onto the scene of an accident. The bike will pump fuel when the starter is cranking, and should full your carb bowls, giving you fuel to start the bike. There’s a few minutes worth of fuel stored in the carb bowls anyway, so the fuel pump doesn’t need to run right away.

How does a pulsed fuel pump relay work?
The fuel pump is “pulsed” by your ignition computers. It saves on electricity and fuel pumps. The pump is able to deliver far more fuel than you usually need. If you run a straight wire or bridge, the pump will run constantly, although the carb will not allow it to pump as much fuel as it wants to.
What does a fuel cut off switch do?
All modern fuel injection cars are equipped with an inertial fuel cut off switch that shuts off the power supply for the fuel pump if the vehicle is in a collision. This prevents fuel from being pumped in case of the fuel line damage during an accident.
