So I'm having a bit of a problem getting this Accord to start. It's been out of a commission for nearly a year now while I've been getting some repairs done and changing a few gaskets. I've gotten everything buttoned back together and now I'm having some difficulty getting any fuel pressure.
I took off the intake manifold because the IACV and FITV had hardened and clogged coolant lines, the EGR was bad and there was at least one vacuum leak. I replaced all of the gaskets and seals and had everything plugged back in correctly. The battery was dead at this point so I borrowed another one to start it. Upon starting the car I can get the engine to crank, but it won't start. I've narrowed this down to a fuel problem when I cracked the nut for the fuel line on the rail loose and it was as dry as it was when I reinstalled it. I checked the trunk area while someone else turned the keys to accessories and did not hear the fuel pump at all. I pulled the main relay and saw no visible signs of broken welds at all. Also, that problem seems to manifest in the warmer times of year rather than now.
The car ran previous to me removing the intake manifold so all of the electronics should be good. I'm not getting fuel and I'm not even hearing the fuel pump prime. Given my conditions as I've narrowed them down, does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you for reading my long post.
