Apparently not all relays are created equal...

I worked again through the wires, fuses, and relays. I swapped the window regulator relay with the fuel relay (both black). No difference. For whatever reason I then swapped in the only red relay "rel. air conditioning" (and I don't have air conditioning on the car) AND THE FUEL PUMP CAME BACK TO LIFE.

I then started the car to find that it was smoking excess fuel (whitish) and running very rough. So, the mystery continues, and I have discovered that not all relays are created equal.

Any ideas?
