97 Honda Atturd won't crank

[Ret.Bugtech]

This better not turn into a No "no starter thread".  Maybe if we click our heels and say "there's no place like the triangle"  3 x.......   So the honda was fixed Friday.  Ran Saturday and Sunday.  Cranked and would not start Monday afternoon.  Whats that? ..3 days.

I don't hear the soothing wrrrrr of the fuel pump.  check the fuses.    find out the pump relay is under the dash some where.  Reach under there and wiggle wires in a manner that gets my thumb pierced by an exposed screw.   Car starts but its under observation until day light because I dont know what i Did.   SC

SC , You are correct. There is no place else like "The Triangle". There is a God.
     O'boy ! Are we entering the chapter on the proper way to "Wiggle" wires ?

As we return to the saga,  Tuesday,  Asked my kid to get the dash board open and figure out what relay worked the fuel pump.  Reminded him Wed,  He got to it Thursday, so plastic around steering wheel is off.  I get home about 8pm .  Because the car was working from my skilled talent in wire wiggling,  I wanted to try to get it not to work. .  I  pulled off the 2 relays under there but the car still ran.  I began think it is not the Fuel pump. 
There was a thick wire under the dash that was wrapped with black electrical tape.  The tape was all tacky and dried and the thick wire inside was probably barely making contact.  Not sure this was the deal but cinched it up and used my favorite duct tape. 

I've never liked black electrical tape .  it never seems to hold up in a car.   Duct tape or wire nuts works so much  better.   So the Honda is gone.  for now....  SC
