as far as the title goes for this thing I'm gonna have to contact an attorney to go through the court and have the judge award the car to me. I guess if I want to save this thing bad enough I'll do what it takes to do so. does anyone have any ideas on the relays asked about above? Thanks

The one next to the eec *may* be the fuel pump relay...they're in close proximity to each other...

Any progress is good :D

The fuel pump relay is in the trunk between the inner rear fender and structual support....under the package shelf area.

yeah the fuel pump relay was already with the harness and is installed in the trunk. I think this is where Jcassity and one of his helpful posts is needed :D

new question, are relays the same internally? like if I were to use my old antilock relay for the A/C or EEC would it work?

Well, I had the wrong one in the connector for the eec....and the car wouldn't start :hick:...

BUT, the relay itself was missing a terminal that the connector had, so as long as they have the same terminals I'd *guess* they'd work.

If you don't have the one you need, text me a pic of the connector, and I'll send you one..I have several here ;)

Cool, the payoff is well worth it!! I'm ready for some nice weather so I can get started on mine. I just have some minor things to take care of. At least I hope it's only minor!! LOL!!
