Now that I am unsure of. You could try asking in that thread, someone may be able to help you. Otherwise you can wait for RonJ to respond, he knows everything

The diagram below should help. The fix is to replace or resolder the main relay (see link in my signature).

so if i am not misunderstanding you, because the pump does work sometimes it is a bad relay?

The main relay of 5th generation Civics is a well known problem. Given that your fuel pump is fine but intermittently doesn't work, the main relay is the prime suspect -- it provides power to the fuel pump. I think a new main relay runs $35-$40. If you can solder, then the cost of repairing the main relay is much less.
