main fuel relay

so it is normal??? is it anything major??

it seems everyone has this problem at one point or another. Simply listen to your fuel pump and hear is it’s on. The main fuel relay controlls your Pump,and Fuel injectors. if it is bad it will either not sent the signal to your Fuel pump/injectors. it is under your dash on the left of your steering wheel. it is a brown/black box. you should also check to see if you got spark.

can someone elaborate on the procedure and cost of replacement product to do this. a friend (who happens to be a cute girl :drool: ) is having this problem with her teg :frowning: so… being the nice guy that i am… i wanna help her out with it. thanks.

Okay first check to see it it’s the battery (free)
Try to take one of Mom or Dads car and check to see if your car starts with that one.
Next check you alternator (free)
Once your car starts disconect one of the batterie terminals if it turns off it is bad. if it doesn’t …well then it is obviously fine.
Then check to see if you got spark (free)
Disconect one of your plug wires stick a screw driver where the plug would attach and have a friend slowly crank the car. If there is a spark then you can proceed to the next step.
Change the relay.(50+ Dollars) this you can do on your own.

hey guys, do a search on “Main Fuel Relay”, I posted a lot of info on how to replace it and how to diagnose it. (I replaced mine two days ago…)

HTH!
