Ok Haven't been on here in a while. The ex took EVERYTHING I had. But anyway, my car died on me this morning and while I was trying to start it I could hear the ASD relay clicking repeatedly untill it started, which was about 5 minutes. Should It be doing that or not? I have never noticed it before

better than some... Greater than most

Probably the fuel pump relay, Pull the plug out and clean the old brown dielectric grease out of there and clean with some electronic cleaner. Connect the plug again and try it out.

If your in a pinch you could use a test light and see which is power coming out of the relay and take a small piece of wire and "short" it out and the car should run fine.

It worked for me when I was at the dragstrip getting ready in the staging lanes

If it is indeed the ASD relay clicking then you have a relay starting to go or bad conn as stated already.

I hear it when I turn the car to the start position evertime, but today while trying to restart it I heard it repeatedly, thanks for the replies any more ideas are welcome.

when its going out, if it gets to the point where it wont start, you can have someone tap on the relay while you start it and it should fire up.

I got the 'relay kit' from satan for like $35, which is the 2 relays and the mounting bracket.

for that price should buy a handful of them and sell them here. All the dealers in our area want 59.00 for the asd relay. I called 2-3 weeks ago to check. Fuel pump relay is less than 20.00

I have 3 relays on the firewall

You can go to a parts store and get it for 7 bucks... No bracket tho.
