Default 91 si dead

My crx is just dead. It was running fine. It sat for a few weeks and now It does not even attempt to fire. I see its getting spark, i can hear my fuel pump, i can smell fuel (ive tried starter fluid)...ive gone over all the fuses and wiring....any help is greatly appreciated

I was wondering if it could be my main relay down by the hood latch. Is there anyway to test it?

Welcome to the forum,I agree with you on the main relay, give the Main Relay a hit. If in doing so the vehicle springs back to life replace the relay. The Main Relay on Honda’s provides power for the fuel pump, fuel injection and computer related components. About the only thing you can do with a Honda with a bad Main Relay is push it.

Thanks. I did tap on it and still nothing....i am just going to buy one.....i really hope thats the issue cuz my problems first occured when the car wouldnt turn over. (It started up fine with a push start) I came to the assumption that it was my starter so i replaced it and still nothing. So i went back over the wiring and found a wire had came loose from a security alarm system that the previous owner had installed....so i plugged it and it turned over, but now it doesnt even attempt to fire....ive gone over the wiring about three times now....so im praying a new relay is the answer
