Hi again, i thought i post that to the list, without the first sentence :-)

I have in front of me now an harness and the Digijet PRO training guide. This one is NOT online. First, did you check the "Fuel Injection Power Suply Relay"? It's the one BESIDE the fuel pump relay on Dijiget FI.

Change them both, they are THE SAME PART NUMBER!!! #24 relay, part # 171 937 503

Try that Ben
