Fuel System Relay vs Fuel Pump Relay (also called Fuel Injector Relay by dealer 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Keith on  Mon Jun 30 04:46 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I have intermitant engine starting problems. Turnover but engine does not catch. Happens mainly on hot days. Let it sit for 15 minutes and starts right up and I will go for a week or so before it may happen again. Per this board, people have said this is the "classic fuel pump relay" and talk about it costing $39 and located near the fusebox. The dealer says the FUEL SYSTEM RELAY costs $39 but is located near the driver headlight. He says there is also a FUEL PUMP RELAY(also called FUEL INJECTOR RELAY)near the relay panel for about $83. He seems to have replaced the FUEL SYSTEM RELAY a lot, but no so much the other one. Which relay are we talking about? Don't mind replacing the cheap one even for proventive maintence but do not want to replace both if unnecessary. Also is this something that can be done easlier by a novice. Where could I get info on replacing one or both of these relays. Anyone out there that understands this world of fuel relays.
