I must have made a mistake somewhere....

I removed the fuel pump relay from its socket and stuck the jumper wire directly at the holes corresponding to pin 30 and 87 on the FPR... this made the fuel pump run -- and the engine was started normally.

* I don't know why the car ran when I jumped 30 and 87V and put the FPR back in its socket. *

If I connect pins 15 and 31 of the Fuel Pump Relay directly to the battery's 12V, the FRP would close the connections between 30 and 87 momentarily.

With the key on, I get a volt-meter and check the output of the socket corresponding to 15 and 31 on the FPR and I only get 9 volts. 9 volts. I was expecting to see somewhere around 12 volts here. Is this correct?

My Fuel Pump Relay may be ok after all, and I just have low voltage at the trigger side of the relay. The witchhunt continues.
