From everything I have read my Fuel pump relay is supposed to be behind the battery. But it is not there.

Behind the battery there is the FI ECU the OVP and 2 other large modules but no Fuel Relay. Can someone point me to where it might be.

Thanks

It's possible that one of those "2 other large modules" is your fuel pump relay. They usually aren't just a simple "cube" style relay.

This is the 230e but like mine thats a 2.6e so should be the same .Pull it out and see if it has 9 or 10 pins .The fuel relay is the one on the left .

I think that year uses a Mass relay. If I remember, it's part # 0075456532. It's a little larger than the earlier FP relay. It has a silver bracket with a locking knob on the top.

Yes it uses m.a.s relay, pin number 1 and 2 are power and ground to pumps , if you bridge pumps should run

And if it doesn't, the problem is most likely fuel pump/fuel filter or ignition related.

If the vehicle will not start, pull air filter metal cover, pour very small amt. of gas into top of fuel distributor and try to start car. If it runs for a sec. or two, you have a fuel issue. If not, you have an ignition issue.
