EMERGENCY HELP FOR RENO!!!!
Umm, ok, it wasn't the gas, I just died on the expressway on my way to Chicago for the godsmack concert tonight. Good news: I made it and my friends CARBEURATED WITH A GOOD OLD FASHION MECHANICAL PUMP 305 is running fine, so we'll get to the show. Bad news: I have no idea where the relay is, and hopefully, it's only the relay.
SUMMED UP: WHERE'S THE FUEL PUMP RELAY
-Reno
------------------
'88 Firebird LB8
"Cerberus"
-Supercharged Hybrid LB8/L32 Project-

On my 89, there is a group of three relays in front of the DS firewall. It is the square relay in the middle.

Car: 1986 Firebird
Engine: 2.8 V6
Transmission: 700R4
Reno, altho after doing this swap, I noticed a ton of differences in relay shapes/sizes between '86 and '89, maybe the chart at this message of mine can help. If GM didn't change wire colors after '86, you're set!

Could the distributor module be bad? Does the car start & run fine after it cools down?
