Trying to figure out why my fuel pump is not getting any power and determined the power for the pump comes directly off the coil. The voltage leaving the relay panel is ~12V, but coming into the coil is only about 2-3V - that is with the wire disconnected - with it connected to the coil it is only ~.3V. Is this right? How do I determine if the coil is bad? How much for a new one?

it's probably just the relay not making good contact. if you have a new/spare relay, switch them out. make sure the contacts are clean, if corroded use a wirebrush (disconnect battery before brushing the female connectors on the relay board!) ... if the relay fits in too easy, carefully pry thr pins apart just a bit to give it a more schnugg fit.
