Quick Question!
Hey all.
Recently while driving my 1998 Eclipse RS just died on me. It would crank but not spark. Tested the coil pack and it came back fine. Replaced the cam sensor, crank sensor, and battery. Then just started getting frustrated as nothing worked. After looking through the Haynes manual I found where the Fuel pump/MFI relays were. As it turns out that was the problem. However, after wiggling them around a bit the car would start up and run perfectly. I unplugged and cleaned them out with contact cleaner (They looked really mucked up) and then plugged them back in. The car started and ran perfectly for about two days. However, just tonight when driving home it died again. So I popped my hood, wiggled the relays, and it started right up.
Is there a decisive way for me to fix the issue without replacing them? I'm not sure if there is a loose wire or bad connection, it just seems that messing with the relays temporarilly fixes the problem. If not, does anyone know where I can find replacements? I tried finding them online with no luck.
