integra wont start (no fuel)
Car: 95 integra w/ built gsr swap less than 5k on motor
Problem: Car wanted to overheat while sitting in traffic. Checked fan and it was on, and with less than 5000 miles im sure the water pump is still good. Changed thermostat and filled and burped system. Car ran fine sitting in driveway for 20 minutes or so with no overheating. I later went out to the car to start it and it starts and immediately dies. I give it gas and it starts again and stays running while i nurse the gas pedal. When I let off the gas it dies again. I try to start it again and it will not start. When turning key to ignition position the main relay clicks constantly and the check engine light is dimly lit and flickering to the sound of the main relay and the fuel pump will not cut on. I tested the main relay and it works fine outside the car. The light on the hondata is on as well but blinks slowly. I also checked all plugs and connectors underhood and all appear good. Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong?

If you're sure about checking it, then maybe a flaky ignition switch? Can you make it better or worse by moving the key around?

Got a wiring drawing? I'll see about looking at mine...
You can check the circuit that triggers the main relay. See if it flickers or not. If not, then check further 'downstream' in the circuit until you see the unsteady power.
