Gotcha.

So FI relay is the main relay?

It is listed as a fuel injection relay.

Ok.

The two relays in front under the rubber, what are they?

Have you checked your IG fuse under the dash inside the car?

Which fuse is the IG fuse?

If IG fuse is good, remove the fuel relay as your picture shows it to be and probe the white/blue wire connector in the harness with a test light and turn the switch on and see if it lights.

Your IG fuse position should be listed on the cover over the fuse panel under the dash. It should be a 20amp fuse in the left side up two from the bottom.

Ok, well I guess I have to go get a new 60amp fuse since I destroyed the other one.

I will be back in about an hour!

Thanks for your help! You're awesome.

Be back soon..

Ok. I am back.

Installed new 60 amp fuse.

I tested the relay port with a tester bulb. It's lighting up on two of the holes.

Also--IG fuse is fine.

I just hooked up jumper cables from the battery to the wire going to the fuel pump under the rear seat. I can hear the fuel pump running, but it still won't start when I crank it.

I am becoming increasingly confused.

Does the injector spray?

Put a fuel pressure gauge on it and check the fuel pressure. Instructions in post 41 in this thread,

If the fuel pump isn't coming on, I suspect another component involved in the process of starting the car isn't either. If the fuel pump isn't getting power, something else isn't either.

To me, it seems like at this point in time a fuel pressure test would be somewhat unimportant.

I am more concerned about why the Fuel Injector relay isn't "clicking" while the fuel injector relay/ac relays are. I don't think fuel pressure would affect this.

Your guys thoughts?

If the fuel pump is running, you should have fuel pressure. Your main relay also feeds the injector. You need to get back to finding why the fuel relay is not working. Probe the white/blue wire out of the f1 relay and turn switch on and see if it is hot.l
