Did you just purchase this vehicle and it was a problem when you got it? or do any wiring to it recently? or any work at all?

are there any jumper wires under the hood or the fuse block?

hi, thanks.
i found that near that row of 4 relays, there is a thing that looks like a lawnmower solenoid, or an old ford-like solenoid thing. it has several wires conected to it. something in this area is shorting. if i push down on it, i can hear the fuel pump going on and off.
i have bent it a little so that it would shut off; but have not pinpointed the problem.
it's still idleing really fast.
thanks for th help.
