well, when I turn my key to acc. I can hear my fuel pump kick on I left my keys at a friends so I can't check my spark plugs but I was thinking that it might be my main relay but I am not sure about that either. I just don't wanna buy a bunch of parts that I don't need but who knows. I did replace my ecu, distributor and cap, rotor, spark plugs and wires about 6 months ago but I have put about 6000 miles on tham so.... maybe I will just try a tune-up and see what happens.

turn your keys to the "on" position, pull back the carpet on the passenger side floor. you should see a bracket holding down your ECU. you should also see a blinking LED light on the ECU. count the long flashes and short flashes. long=10 and short=1. search for a list of codes for your engine then diagnose the problem.
PS: search is in the upper righthand corner or you can look at the thread entitled "FAQ" stickied at the top of the forum and look for something called ECU code listing. goodluck
