Would love some help on this matter. 2000 prelude. Just bought a couple days ago and drove 36 miles home no problem except it tried to die when slowing down to stop. Now that I own it, it wouldn't start. Figuring it was the oil pump, I changed it out. Cranks but still won't start because there is no power to the fuel pump. Checked my work multiple times and it's correct, pump works when jumped, relays test perfectly fine, but it's still not turning on the pump.. help!!!
