Description: By jumping Yel/blu to Yel/blk, you are turning on the main fuel injection. By jumping Blk/yel to Yel, you are turning on the fuel pump. It doesn't matter if the main relay is removed or not. Disconnect the fuel pump, Blk/yel to Yel, when engine is not running.

Understanding: Knowing the nature of the problem and understanding how it works can protect your car from accidental damages. Honda electronics are known for it's reliability, but the new models (92 and up) employ a different kind of igniter that may be damaged if a positive current is supplied to one of wrong inputs. Honda is designed for ground safe, meaning accidental grounding may not damage the computer electronics.
