Your fuel pump relay is tucked behind your fuse panel down by your left foot, if you are in the drivers seat. they hid it BEHIND the fuse panel, between the fuse panel and the wall the fuse panel is bolted to. remove the bolts that hold the fuse panel to the car, and you will find the relay. but before you go pay the $70 for a replacement relay, pop the cover off the relay, and look for cracked solder joints on the relay. appears to be cold-solder joints. if you know how to solder electronics type stuff, just heat the cracked cold jointed solder and desolder it with a desoldering bulb, and resolder new solder to those joints, put the cover back on the relay, reinstall the relay and fuse panel, and 9 times out of 10 you car will start right up and be fine, and you saved yourself $70 for the relay (plus all the other parts you replaced trying to get the car to start). I know first hand about those relays- I went thru every potential part that could cause the car not to start, and a week of my car not running and reading hours and hours online trying to find the problem, my wife found something about the relay on youtube, and "wallah, I found the hiding spot of the relay, found how to fix it, and what causes the intermittent failure to fire up and run, that faultily soldered relay. quick fix and now she runs like she has for all 320k miles on the odometer.) enjoy , I hope this helps you.And remember, the relay in NOT in the fuse panel, it is hiding BEHIND it!
I'm having intermittent starting issues with my 96 Acura. It's acting like it's not getting fuel. This info sounds promising. I hope it works. I'll let u know thanks.
