Upon your advice, I switched the A/C relay with the ASD relay (yes they are
all the same number) and tried it. Nothing happened (i.e. still didn't
start). Then I switched the ASD and the relay under the A/C relay (I forget
which one but not the fuel pump one). Still nothing. I checked for voltage
at the relay sockets and there was voltage. Different pins were hot
depending on which relay. I thought that was odd, but maybe not).
Thanks,
