Hello John and others,

i have to jump the RPM relay to test my fuel pressure and other fuel related 
problems. my car does not run. it will turn over and fire but it will not 
start up. i do not have the luxury of having a car that is actually running 
while i troubleshoot my problems!! the RPM relay is really the only way to 
go , as long as i am by myself in my garage where i can't reach the ignition 
from the fuel pump or the engine compartment. 

also, i found the problem with my fuse block. what a stupid problem it was. 
i found that a previous owner had jumped fuse 7 out of the block on a fused 
jumper, and the fuse that was in there was a dummy just to have in there. i 
found the fuse holder for # 7 and sure enough, it was blown! replaced it and 
things work just fine again.

i should have known it was jumped!

Andy
