Main Relay
Well my car wont start at all i was told to check the relay i look at it, looks good on the solder points but i when a ahead and replaced i ordered it from dealer but wont get it till Wed after new years. Now it was too long to wait i still ordered it but when to the junk yard and picked up 2 of them.
Now what was happenin is that when i was drivin the car acted funny as no fuel was reachin to the engine like it was dyin needed to play with the gas sometimes it will work other it wont and it takes a while to start the car.
Now i check the hoses that reach the filter, i remove them and try startin the car and no fuel comes out, so i thought it was fuel pump i check it out the pump was ok all needed is to run direct current then i hear the pump actually run not like before. I also replaced the fuel filter just in case now i try to start the car and it wont start. Now i remove the hoses is my fuel is comin out but its the same problem no gas.
Can this be caused by the Main Relay?

yes sounds like the main relay. open up one of them and resolder the points on them. heres a link on how to do it. http://techauto.tripod.com/mainrelay.htm

yea thats what mine was doing because of the main relay. it only takes like 20 minutes to resolder one. get some of that steel wool looking solder remover you get the solder melty and stick it on and it sucks it all off. then you resolder. its super easy. i used a sucker instead of the steel wool stuff and it takes longer last time. also the wires sometimes come off the controll module ignitor in the distributor. or the ignitor itself could be bad and if i remember right it gives power to the mfi relay to turn on in the first place. but im not totally sure on that one i rewired my ecu so who knows how the factory wiring is.
