Hello, my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I'm sorry your having problems with this vehicle so I'll try to help you with this issue.The website may prompt if you want a call, but that would be up to you. So when you tried to start it does the relay clich and the engine turns over or the engine does not turn over?
If your hear a clicking and the starter is not turning the engine over then it is possibly the battery is weak or a bad connection at the battery clamps.

the main relay from what your saying and these do have a few issues, and may need to be replaced again., with a Honda replacement.
So let me look at some info and I'll be right back.

Okay yes it was strange because after I replaced the relay crank right up and I drove the East Texas and I drove back to Dallas and it was fine and just last night I tried to crank it and it did that and then start making it click noise

So check all the connections at the relay and at the battery clamps as well, if that does not help replace the relay to see if it does it. On some models there was a recall for the relay but I don't see it on this one, You may call the dealer to see for sure as there is a recall for that on some models.

Yeah now that you mention that the connection to the fuel pump relay does feel loose like I can move it to the itself

Check to see if the plug end is getting hot or burned as it may need a new connector as well as a new relay.

Ok that's amazing that's good news because it really tried to turn over a couple times and just seemed like it wasn't getting enough fuel to me that's what I really know that what it was I was I was planning on getting a new relay and replacing it and if it starts like that then I know for sure it's the connecting piece
