Sounds like you need to stop taking it to those aftermarket hacks, and find you a better mechanic.

haha Nah, fock looking for a better mechanic..all i need is this site and my hands/tools haha, altogether makes the best/cheapest mechanic ever.

Edited: Plus, so far i finally got the damn fuel pump out but as for the "strainer" i dont know wth that looks like at all....HELP???...

Finally realized what my problem is as to why my car randomly dies...THIS (fuel pump) AND as well as my alternator (that needs to be tightened).

Forget what i said about my main relay!!!

..turned out that my dad DIDN'T replace my main relay...he said he thought i meant some other thing and got me confused. SO YEAH! it's my MAIN RELAY like some of you mentioned a while ago...I'll try to post about this soon. And since i have a 99' civic now...I'll STILL be up on this site cuz i aint leavin' you guys haha. Just not as much.

To whomever posted about checking the alternator by removing either the + or - from the battery its your postive...of course if you remove the - your car is going to die...its the ground.

So if you remove the power then the car should stay running...if it doesnt your alt is out.

And its safe ive done it and it didnt harm my cb.

WHOAH, totally off there man, not trying to flame or anything, but it is the ground you disconnect, if you take the positive away, what do you think the alternator is gonna "pump" out.....

Just so ya'll know...my cb is up and runnin now...solution was my main relay as mentioned!

[HenRoc]

hmm well if you replaced your fuel filter because Meineke said so...man they're ass raping you hardcore without the possibility of a reach around.

Do yourself a favor, keep a Chiltons manual handy at all times when your in your car.

It could save your life.

yea..good thing i didnt have them do it though...600ish is what they were screamin' for...so i said thanks bye..

But altogether to where the state of my car finally is now..
was because:
1)Main Relay
2)Alternator
...that's it..these 2 are a deadly (shotty) force together.. ...

Now im runnin sounding sexier baby!..tahahah..still needs some other minor replacements though for more OEMness.

and btw...i gotsa Haynes bible if that counts.
