Thanks for the info! I think you may be right about the red herring, and my lack of electronic skills. Anyway when I tested for continuity between 2 and 5 and 3 and 8 it was open for both.
These tests are for this relay, correct? When I check for continuity between the pins and the solder around them it checks closed. Could it be an internal problem with the relay? Or maybe it's the injectors or pump? Anyway the relay fails your two no power tests. What does this mean if you have the time, I really appreciate it. (Warning, I am a Flyers fan.)

I forgive you for the Flyers thing.

You state that your Relay fails the last two tests on my page. Does it pass the first three?

Also, for more info on how the Main Relay works, see here:

I didn't have the clips to do those tests and don't think it's the relay. I did solder the two connections that usually go, they did have the hairline crack circle showing. I let it heat up for quite a while and drove it 20 miles. It never stalled but it still lacks power sometimes and really lags. It also runs with a hesitation once it shows the signs.I ordered a coil.

Popped in the coil today and it's good to go. Thanks everyone for the help.

So it was the coil after all. Thanks for the update!
