Re: Engine swapped but no start.....

Could it be possible that if the relay is damaged, then the fuel pump can
run constantly.  I took the relay out tonight and it's rusted and a spring
was broken inside......let's hope that this is the problem......I spent
like (honestly) 4.5 hours just rechecking my wires and making sure that
they hook up right and all seems fine; except for the relay.
