there is a starter relay and an ignition switch.. the starter relay is on the driver side under the dash on the side its a little black box that has a black/red black/blue/ white white wires goin to it i think and the ignition switch is in the steering colum

 

Alright thanks i'll look for it

 

What's the car doing/not doing? What year, model, etc., is it?

Not getting any power to ecu, or fuel pump, car just quit on me when i was driving

 

check your battery connections and all fuses under dash and under hood.

 

Already have

 

Is your main relay good? Any codes?

 

is your battery good... more important LOL

 

main relay, that **** happen to me

 

hit me up w/ an email mike@homemadeturbo.com and I'll send you an adobe PDF file that has instructions how to change it.

 

The main relay is good and the battery is good also i was driving and then all the sudden my car died and i'm getting no power to the ecu or the fuel pump

 

ignition switch?

 

How do you replace the ignition switch, i tryed taking one off another car last night and couldn't cause some special bolts

 

theres two screws in the back for the electronics, and to pull the cylinder out, you loosen the set screw around the rim, put the key in, turn it to I and then push in on the little catch around the rim and it should just pull right out.

it's probably the electronic side, though. i did a writeup on how to change/rebuild the ignition electronics, search archives for my name.

however, realize that rebuilding them does not ALWAYS work, because if the points are too worn down, it still won't connect.

 

I'll give it a try, is there anyway to reuse the old key

 

Bump for some pics, couldn't find the relay

 

the relay is kind of behind the hood release... check your ignition switch had mine go bad ... take the switch off with the 2 small screws and see if the soldered joints look ok.. or once you find the relay you can jump it to see if it has power when its jumper

 

Couldn't find the relay so i changed the switch, alright thanks i'll look for it
