Any responsible dealer would realize it is a huge legal liability, and address it immediately. The problem appears to have happened since the engine was removed, but could you please verify that.
The fuel pump and the fuel pump relay appear to be the areas of concern, but the more likely problem is an intermittent open circuit in the wire harness or a poor connection. Components generally are good or bad, not intermittent.
I've seen techs throw the same new parts at a problem, replacing the same component several times, before they figure out the problem is in the circuit, not the component.
Components are sometimes yanked loose at the multi-pin connector, and when they are plugged back in, it sometimes forces the metal connector out the back of the plastic junction block. Or a portion of the wire harness got pinched and broke the wires inside the insulation. The wire harness has to be carefully inspected for any signs of pinching or loose terminals.
Those are all very good points. I’m going to request a sit down with the regional Honda rep. I was lucky that both times it died I wasn’t on the highway or bottlenecked. So many wires in these harnesses and I highly doubt this dealer is going to take any responsibility financially despite all of their cuss ups. I have recently spent hours rerouting wires to their proper places because of their awful job.
Oh and yes, the problems only started once the engine was removed, and split. As well as the dealer gouging my frame down to the metal while removing it
