[V8] 5-speed no start

Most relays are located in the front passenger footwell.  The FPR is behind
a cover you remove with two screws in front of the passenger's door, the
rest are under the carpet under the passenger's feet. You will find a
sticker that indicates which relay is which.

As to the no start situation, read the codes.  Perhaps the ignition timing
is off.  I've had a car that starts and runs fine with a malfunctioning
passenger side dizzy, but I understand it can be a source of no start.  

The access to the fuel tank / pump is in the middle of the trunk just behind
the rear seat, where the ski sack usually sits.  You may need to pull up the
piece of carpet in the area, but I've found it is usually already loose.
There's a round access panel which is held in place by 3 screws.  The fuel
pump is down deep in the tank on the passenger's side.  It is best if you
can siphon most of the fuel out before reaching in there.  The pump mount is
a bayonet-style attachment.  I'd recommend trying to get a hold of the
written procedure ...

Where is the fuel pump relay located? I need to get fuel to my '92 auto. Is
there a write-up on replacing the fuel pump, I have to find the access
panel. It must be in the trunk.  Thanks,  Bob On Jun 3, 2014, at 12:04 PM,
