OK, here's the scoop! The car now runs again! Why? I donno! I was
checking the fuel pump relay with a test light. I connected the clip
to the neg. battery terminal and the probe I belive pin 1 on the
relay. The relay clicked, and I could hear the sweet sound of fuel
rushing up to the injectors. Now the car is back to starting
normally. What did I do? I can not see how I completed a circuit,
since i was using a test light. I needed pos. on one end and neg on
the other to make the light go on. So what happened? And more
importantly, what do I need to do to correct the situation, as I am
sure this is only a temp fix.
