Re: Fuel pump relay

[Salvatore Guzzo <yu129742@yorku.ca>]

Well,

Todday I made a switch which by-passed my relay.  Once this was done, the
car started no problemmo.  I would like to have a fuel pump relay in place
of the switch but I was wondering how hazardous is the switch in place of
the relay.  I don't want the switch to burn on me or the terminals to catch
on fire.  BTW, I used a rear defroster switch, my dad says there might be a
timer on the unit.  Whatcha think about that?  Is this okay?

My final thought for the day, I just recently replaced the relay (like
about 3 weeks ago), what could cause the relay to burn out.  I don't want
to continue purchasing relays every month (unless someone has a few which
they wouldn't mind throwing away).  I was contemplating whether the pump
was at fault or possibly the ignition coil.  I'm at a loss for this one.
At any rate, off I go to work on the newly cracked rad.  I guess this
engine swap took a little longer than expected.....
