240 non- starting issue, trouble shooting 200 1992

Tony, Art and Pageda,

Thanks for the replies. It runs!!!

Art, I saw this same photo and explanation from digging into older posts earlier before I came home ... Thanks Art!

I jumpered fuses 4 and 6 and we heard the pump whir. I did not turn the key to position 3. (must not have read closely). I went to relay, unplugged it, took off cover, exercised it manually. I re-plugged the relay with cover off, turned the key and watched as it actuated slowly, then the car started, about 2-3 seconds.

My youngest son and I started smiling and were so happy that we started looking for things to put on the list before the car gets on the road.

After 10 minutes we shut it down and it started immediately.

We repeated this several times. Started fine. So, I'm thinking I still may have a failing/intermittent relay. Right? So I will pick one up as soon as possible.

My son is now begging me to start making the rounds at the Pick and Pulls.

The list so far; replace broken bracket that holds OBD, replace broken rear tag light assembly, new tires, find and fix exhaust leak, fix non working dash lights and fix the non working reverse lights.

Thanks again.
