Your relay is not at fault. If it were the car would not run at all.
Continue to go through the diagnostic.
Let me know what you find out. When the diagnsotic talks about pulling trouble codes or doing a test like a fuel pressure test, you can got to any Advance Auto or Auto Zone and they willl pull trouble codes for free and they bloan out specialty tools for test like a fuel pressure test.
Let me know what you find and we will go from there.
