today i was camping and it was warm and i got in my truck to leave and it wouldnt start i didnt hear the pump run and of course it wouldnt start it turned over fine didnt spit or sputter or nothin but anyway so i opened the hood took the relay out blew on it wiped it a little put it back in and my truck started it had to turn over a couple times but it started would this mean its the relay??
If this is the 1996 relay to the fuel pump it would be best to replace. I would replace the relay whenever the fuel pump fails after high mileage. the motors can draw excessive current when failing burning/pitting the contacts...you could take the relay cover off and using a small file smooth out these defects, since your with no funds...
