93leg Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 To help determine if a Jideco relay replacement will cure my problem, I have removed the original relay, taken off its outer cover and cleaned the contacts. The contacts did have a small amount of carbon build up and show slight signs of wear. I then reinstalled it. I hope this creates a noticeable difference in the way the car runs. If it does fix the problem I will purchase a new relay. I'll keep you posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alia176 Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Finally a real viable solution. So far, nothing else that other's have suggested sounded good to me. I'm betting that the relay is the culprit due to the fact that my wife tells me that she smells a "burning" smell of some sort during the stalling. I'll be doing the same thing to mine once I get her dug out of the snow! She's for sale so I haven't been driving her at all. Thanks dudes.

93leg Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 This is not a cure yet; I still need many driving trips to verify that it helped. But I am hopeful. Here is some advice for removing the relay. It is very hard to get to, but along the backside of the relay there is a slot. This slot slides down into the mounting hardware. It clips into place. If you can insert a slotted screwdriver between the backside of the relay and this hardware post it will bend easy. This will unlock the mounting clip at the top. You should be able to pull it off the hardware then. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
