Can someone please help. Trying to find fuel pump relay. Looked under front right and left kick panels with no luck. Are there any sights I can go to for a diagram or if anyone can help? That would be great. Thanks, Nate

Hello, I am Danny.

The fuel pump relay is located in the trunk on the left side. I have attached a picture and a tutorial on how to test a relay. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2Carpros.

Danny, also the same car when in park idles at about 1200-1400 rpm's. But when in gear drops to 700-800 rpm's. How can I adjust high idle? Thanks again, Nate

Hello again.

Usually the Idle is non-adjustable (controlled by the PCM). You might want to see if the idle-up solenoid is functioning correctly or if there is an adjustment. See attached. Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.

Danny, so I was able to adjust the idle, it is running better now but still in the morning when it’s first started it want to die like it’s not getting fuel. If I keep the rpms up above 1000 it will warm up. Where should I look next? I have replaced fuel filter, fuel pump relay and plugs. Fuel pump is working fine. Thank you, Nate
