1998 Mazda Protege only runs when fuel pump relay is jumpered
All,
I have a 1998 Mazda Protege that will only run when I jumper the fuel pump relay.
While driving the car just died, after some investigative work i found the time belt was off and the car not timed correctly.
the car still would not run so i verified that the fuel pump was still working.
I found a post about bypassing the fuel pump relay. Once I did that the car started right up.
I have been trying to figure out why it will not run when the relay is plugged in and I have found nothing
I have replaced the fuel pressure regulator (that was not it)
Cleaned as many connectors as I could and still nothing.
Thank you in advance for any tips, hints or direction before i break down and take it to the shop.
