Hi Tmannion! Thanks for the quick update. Yes, the relay is undoubtedly OEM. I bought it with 49K on the odom. Will drive it, maybe even let it set for a couple of days, and see if it does it again. Will throw in a bottle of injector cleaner (Chevron's) just to be on the safe side ala injectors. I changed plugs 15K ago and didn't notice anything unusual. I'm still puzzled as to why it started, instantly died, and then wouldn't start. I tried about four times, even let it set for thirty minutes or so. What I did not do though, was let it crank for more than four or five seconds. When I jumpered it with the paper click I let it crank for about ten or fifteen seconds, long enough to hear the engine begin to pick up rpms, and so continued to let it crank until it slowly started. Had I done that, it probably would have responded with the relay in it. Nice to know the paper clip trick when you pull off somewhere on the Alcan Hwy and it won't start. Thanks again for your very helpful and quick advice! Dick
