	YES check for voltage at the fuse for the fuel pump while cranking it
it only there while the relay is energised.If the relak is in question
take it apart (be careful) and look for bad solder joints this is
common.At the same time while you have the relay out make a jumper to
bypass the relay(it does not have to be made out of the same size
terminals because this is just a test,try a paper clip straitened
out).Insert the clip into the fuse panel no more than 11 mm as a short
can occur!The terminals to be connected together are 30 and 86 as viewed
on the relay the pump should run as soon as the connection is made.
DO NOT RUN THE CAR WITH JUMPER IN PLACE AS THIS IS NOT SAFE!! IF THE CAR
STALLS THE PUMP KEEPS RUNNING.
