        according to the thread that TypeG posted, the culprit was the main relay that needed replacement. Here's a DIY from the cb7wiki on how to replace it.

            Why would a main relay drain a battery....That doesnt make sense if it was on the whole time your motor would be full of fuel. Anyway have you hooked up anything? System? or anything electrical recently?

              It didn't make sense to me either but according to the guy who orginally posted the thread, he said that it was the main relay. My first guess and only guess would be alternator, but if its new then...

                Actually now that I think of it your pump would stay primed it wouldnt flood the cylinders unlike a civic where the main relay controls the injectors also.

                  no system took that out.... so the main relay would drain it?? also when the battery is loosing its charge and im driving the car tends to buck as if to turn off do to power loss. I really need to know if changing that relay will do the trick.. im not a noob just not a full mechanic i know alot just cant fig out this??

                    Changing the relay wont do anything. Do you lose power overnight or immediately? Did you tape everything off that had bare metal on the wires off when you take out the system? I would check those wires first.

                        Have you waited around to see of your fans come on? The fan sensor (forget actual name) was busted to the cooling fans would come on and stay on even if the car was off all day. Oddly enough it they would start around 11 or so at night and go until the battery was dead.

                            you should try testing ur car for parasitic drain you gonna need a multimeter to do that and if ur result is more than 1 or 2 amps then something is grounded in ur car that causes ur battery to drain
