Not sure what you are looking for.

What is the issue?

im looking for the starter relay. the problem i am having is when i turn the key the first 2 poisitions are ok but when i put it in the 3rd all the way back the dash lights go out and it dosent crank nothing a few secs later the dash lights come back on.

Is it the same as the main relay on a 94? I wish the manuals had more actual photographs. It took me forever to find the main relay on my '90, because all I could see on the diagram was a little hand-drawn box.

no its diffrent than the main relay. Yeah the diagram i have just shows a little box and says starter relay under it

Main relay and starter relay are the same.
If your dash lights are going out, it's most likely a faulty ignition switch, weak battery, or dirty/corroded battery cables.

im pretty sure the main relay and the starter realy are 2 diff things. I tested the switch and it was good. The battery and all cables are good also

There's no starter relay, only main relay which sends power to the starter and a starter cut relay which cuts power to the main when the clutch pedal switch circuit indicates that the clutch isn't down.

Anyway, here you go sir... starter cut relay:

ok that is something like what im looking for my car is an auto. so i should just be able to just stick my head under there and see is or do i need to pull out the center console? thanks for the help

Can I ask what problem you are having? If you notice the little footnote the start/cut relay is for Manaul Trans.

have you tested the starter? simple to do...hook it directly to the battery with jumper wires. it should fire up. if not well uhh oohhh

I'd then check the battery as well......
