Yellow boost relay issues
My car has been plagued with intermittent fuel pump issues... stopping for no apparent reason. This can happen after hard acceleration, or just when driving steady down the road. It seems random.
However, I took the car for a spin tonight, and this time I unplugged the connection on the meter plate... pumps running as soon as the key was turned on.
Again, it died out while driving. No pumps running. I popped the engine compartment open (key still on) and pulled the yellow relay in and out of its socket a few times, and the pumps came back to life. So it seems this issue is finally isolated to this relay.
As I see this silly relay is now up to $206 from our sponsor, has anyone come up with a decent work-around, or identified an alternate relay that can do the job? Has anyone ever had success opening it up and cleaning up the contacts?
Any ideas appreciated... I'd love to put this annoyance to an end.
