OK I am still having relay problems..bought a new one..it will work (awhile) then dies.its a generic though so maybe weak. I looked at autozone and they have 2 relays listed for my year of van. One is the fuel pump relay,,which I assume is the asd relay and another called Decelerate fuel cutt-off relay which for some reason in the pic looks more like the asd one?? If there are 2..where is the other..and is it maybe the culprit also?

Thanks blackvan,,The lower one? It must be working then..because I was getting good fuel pressure all along. When I did the key dance..(the throttle solenoid..I guess thats what it is called..the one that pulls the rod back and opens the choke I guess,,when you first turn the key on..and closes when you shut the engine off) Well when I was doing that I heard a clicking sound at the firewall,.,and the throttle rod released..so after I tapped on those 2 relays..then it started up and ran fine. So then is it the upper (a/c relay) causing the problem?

 

The one that runs the fuel pump is to the right and down from the brake booster..I jumped over it..and thats how I discovered the fuel pump was shot..the pump just ran but no fuel..so its like before I had fire and no fuel because it would fire with starting fluid..now I got fuel and the fire is messing up..lol.. geez
