hmmm... I will have to check into that. I have been so busy looking at the fuel pump and the fuel system, I never even thought to check the computers relay. I did manage to check the fusable links but I didnt even consider the relay for the computer. Can I bypass the relay like on the fuel pump relay to see if that might be the problem?

The computer relay is essentially the same relay as the fuel pump relay.

OK so it will not damage anything if I cross the 2 terminals under the relay switch. I am just a little worried about causing more damage thats all.

I doubt it. Of course, if it were me, I'd be following a wiring diagram and poking around with a voltmeter to see where the fuel pump circuit is losing power, but that's just me.

alright, as soon as it stops raining out (and now that I have a manual), I will see what I can or can't find on the electrical side of this beast. I call her a beast because you and I and the rest of the world knows that it is going to be somthing very simple but I won't be able to locate it until I spend a couple hundred bucks. Murphey's Law, i think I live by it.. lol..

But seriously, thank you for your help and patience with me as I try to figure this out. Thanks everyone!!
