Just an FYI, my computer has fried the motherboard, and I haven't got a new one yet. I'm using the computer at the library, and there's a time limit. As such, my ability to search for answers is limited. Sorry in advance if I'm asking something that should be easy to find.

This is where I'm at...

I found the fuel pump test terminal. It was kind of where the drawing in the manual showed it to be, but it was buried in the wiring loom. Applied power to it, and no fuel pump.

Pulled the tank access panel, pulled the plug off the pump and applied power directly and it seems to work. I have no idea how much pressure it's making since the '99 Montero has no Schrader valve on the fuel rail.

Checked for spark, with new plugs. Pulled #1 since it was easiest to get to. There was a spark arcing between #1 and #5 on the coil pack. Pulled the #5 wire off the coil pack and the arcing stopped, but I never got a spark at #1.

I tried reading through the manual online, but due to my time limit I didn't get too far. From what I've read the fuel pump/MFI relay controls both the fuel pump and power to the ECU, so a bad relay would explain my current problem. When I bought it, the previous owners daughter said "it just stopped" when she was driving it.

My current issue is getting to the relay. It's buried in the dash, with no obvious way to get to it. I can see it, but can't even get a finger on it, let alone unbolt or unplug it. Do I have to pull the dash to get to this stupid relay?

Any thoughts appreciated. I wanna go wheelin'...soon!
