Alright, with the cold weather setting in it is only the prime time to have car problems. I have an emotional fuel pump and think the relay is going bad. I try to start the car and the pump won't kick on, but if I try a few hours later I will hear the pump kick on and the car will start, I am pretty sure it is the relay from my own 'Encyclopedia Brown' investigation. I was wondering how common those go bad on the EKs? and where the relay is located? and also where the best place is to pick one up? Thanks in advance!
