99 Accord EX fuel problem

^ This, and if it doesn't, it means either your main relay is bad which means your fuel pump isn't priming, or the light bulb is out altogether.

Did you get to watch the video in my other thread?

the maintenance light comes on for a few seconds when i start it but not the check engine, but i can get the check engine light to come on no problem by other means.

It has to, the ecm controls it.

If it isn't coming on with the maintenance required light, but it starts, that is strange. When it starts, it will test. When it doesn't start, it doesn't test. Is this the case?

Oh but it doesn't. Would having a P28 ECU effect any of this?

I don't think so. Have you tried reflowing the main relay?

What's aftermarket about your fuel system considering you have the turbo?

check the check engine light bulb, I'd use a DVOM on volts (and resistance) and check at the light & ECM.
