then remove the tank cover

you have to should use a Jack to support the tank as you start to remove it(its heavy empty or not, and getting it back up would be quite a pain.once its down a few screws hold the pump in >> remove it >> replace it

and revers the steps to install

Sorry i couldn't be more detailed. I didn't know how to do it myself, i got help.

[TheKingHyrule]

but i can give you a heads up.

jack the car up very ( be safe with supports)

Drain as much fuel as possible ( there is a drain bolt down there)

(from this point i dont remember the details)

i belive you have to remove a part of the rear exhaust

I tested the main fuel relay by replacing it with a known working one. If that isn't available there is also videos on youtube for how to test relays( you need a voltage meter i think and use the needed setting.

You HAVE to drop the tank on the 96 accord. i did it with a friend( mechanic for Acura) and i didnt record it.

Or at least tell me how to take of the full tank to get to the fuel pump, ps how did you test the main relay?

[TheKingHyrule]

This ended up being the fuel pump. SOO much fun replacing that. ...

I took out the main fuel relay (** on the 1996 accord it is not behind the cruise control box it is the relay that i Pointed at with the red backing. very easy to access***) and tested it.. seems fine. if i leave the car sitting for a day then it will catch but the shuts off. It is looking like a fuel pump issue unfortunately.
