Car starts and then stalls, but if I have someone "tap" the relay while starting it stays running. I have changed the relay. Could it be the fuel pump?? Thanks

if tapping on the relay helps I cant see where the fuel pump would be the problem sound more like weak current/low voltage to relay or high resistance in the ground circuit

I'm puting in a new alternator today, I hope this is the anwser...

wow i had a similar experience in my 94 2.6 l it died tryed to start and it would start and immediately die had it towed to a shop and it started right up i pulled the relay at home and it does exactly the same thing i did put some new battery cable connectors on earlier so im wondering if this is related but it did turn over and partially start just wouldnt run

It was the alternator. She's running sweet! :smile:
