Default 1985 Civic Sedan

Help me, you all in the knows! Trouble starting, cranks but will not always start. Low mileage (56,000 original) but the babe is aging cranky... I bought a new main relay, but I cannot find where to take the original out. I have search internet wide and the one I have does not look like anything I see for Honda. HELP! Attaching a pic of the one purchased at auto store.

Does it have a carburetor, or fuel injection?

On a 1988 to 1995, the main fuel injection relay is bolted to the side of the car under the dash-- just above the hood release lever. It also does not look like the one you bought, it is larger. So I can't say for sure about 1985.
