Every once in a while, the fuel pump does not hum when I turn the ignition. So, I get out, open the engine lid and bang on the metal box on the relay board with my bottle opener attached to my keys.

This has fixed the problem every time. Sometimes, more banging is required.

I have no problem asking stupid questions (just see some earlier posts). (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) What is the thing I'm banging on? Why does this work? Where can I get a replacement? BTW - OC rocks |
