Tmannian--I did put the relay back in a few minutes ago, turned the key to II and heard the fuel pump come on for about five seconds. Car started right up. Why, when I jumpered it with a paper clip, was it such a long and labored start up? Obviously, pressure had to build up. Why didn't the jumpered relay allow the pump to repressurize the fuel rail in just a few seconds? This car sat for two days without driving--very unusual given my driving habits. A leaky injector, letting the fuel rail bleed down? If so, why did it instantly start and then die? Residual fuel in the cylinders and no pressure in the fuel rail? If so, why didn't the fuel pump rebuild pressure after just a few seconds? Live gets complicated when you get past sixteen. Dick
