1990 5.8 Bronco - Which one is the fuel relay? No relay cover!

Hey Guys,

Which one is the fuel relay? No relay cover!

My Bronco has never failed me. Of course, I decided I must sell it, so I sprayed out under the hood and now it won't start! It started after I cleaned the engine, but the next day it won't. I am sure it was something I did under the hood!

I used to hear the fuel pump come on when I turned on the key but now it tries to start, but I don't hear the fuel pump and the engine won't fire. I am 99.99% sure it has to due with fuel delivery / pump.

However, I don't have relay cover, but there are three on the left side of the engine. Any way to determine which one would be for the fuel pump? Are there any other fuses or such that I should be looking at under the hood? I am guessing something got corroded.

Any help would be appreciated!

Usually what makes a truck stall when you spray or let water in the engine bay is moisture in the Distributor. Take the cap off and try to wipe any moisture inside, be very careful of the rotor, of course. If that works out, start the engine and let it run for a while, that should evaporate whetever moisture remains.
