If it is a fuel and not an electrical problem, have you checked to see if you can hear the fuel pumps when you turn the key?

Have a few simple DIY ideas...

1. Does your 90 have the "infamous" 25 amp fuel injection fuse and holder near the battery? Apparently some do and some don't. Mine does - BTDT. Trying jiggling the wires near the fuse to see if that makes a difference.

2. As you mentioned, check the fuel pump relay. Should be under glove box, remove floor kick panel. Solder or replace. Think a new relay is about $14 from FCP Groton.

3. Check the plug connector to the AMM for looseness. BTDT too.... Oh yeah, very important - make sure the engine is off before disconnecting/reconnecting the plug to the AMM! and be careful of the prongs - don't break!


Post back with more info if you can...
