I PM'd ya, said something about burning the car because it's possesed :)

The fuel pump relay & resistor (under the AFM) - dirty/worn contacts..

OK....not inside the AFM but under it...right? I'm looking right now....

Under the Stock air filter box & AFM is a silver shielded bracket with 2 harness connectors going under it.
The resistor & relay are mounted to it.

I see a relay bolted just under the and behind the headlight...but no silver shielded part...the relay there has black rubber like the otherss....am I looking in right place? its under and just in front of the air box....
