How can I tell if my main fuel pump relay isnt working?
How can I tell if my main fuel pump relay isnt working? Cuz I hear my fuel pump prime, but sometimes when I start- it takes a couple of times of cranking to actually start. Is this the relay?

if you can hear your pump prime then the relay is working. As for the location of the relay it is above the drivers kick panel(fuse box) area. it is held in place by 10mm head bolt. you may want to check your plugs and or replace your fuel filter based on the milege of your car, hope this helps

I'm 99.999% sure if the relay wasn't working the pump wouldn't prime...but as you can tell from my percentage of assurance, I am not positive.

well if your fuel primes, then they car should start, if it takes a few pumps your fuel pump probly weak, just like mine. what i do is prime it twice, then crank. thats on whirrrrrrr, turn key off and on, whirrrrr, then it should crank up know problem.
