Well I have a GSR that randomly dies on me.
When I would be driving and then stop and then go back into first it just dies or sometimes it would die while i'm driving. Then when i would try and start it, it doesn't want to start up not until after 5 min. I recently changed the fuel filter and did a full tune up thinking that it would help but i guess it didn't.. please help me

main relay starting to go

How would I be able to check if it's my main relay? And where is the main relay located?

a relay just doesnt start to go, its either working or not. A relay doesnt make its own mind up and say hey i want to click over or no i dont want to click.

check next time this happens to see if you have fuel pressure and spark while its "dead".

Take the coil out of the distributor take it to local parts store & have them run an ohm check on it, they'll tell you what you need to know.

or maybe your the noob? Honestly what make a relay just "start to go bad", it either has burnt up contact points on the board causing it NOT TO WORK, or the actual relay coil is burnt up and overheated causing it NOT TO WORK those are about the only reasons relays die. I mean all the parts inside of there have a set resistance its either that resistance or no resistance meaning the parts good or not good.

So where in there can a relay "start to go bad"?? Im just curious to here your logic. So there is no need for you to be an ******* and try flamming someone for something that you dont even understand.

Time for your lesson, do some reading and hopefully you will have a better understanding on how a relay works.
