i took the ecu out today and cleaned the contacts, (one side of the had dirt in it and some with a small amount of corrosion.) I sprayed wd-40 on the contacts, put it back together, turned the key, and it did the same thing, chattering relays...but that only lasted for maybe 30 seconds, the realys stopped, and then after a time (~30 sec) the pump stopped, i tried it and it started normally, no CEL. It started and ran fine after that. I'm nervous though, b/c it might not be gone, only hiding again.....
