I'm sorry guys, but I have a 91 LX 5.0 vert that keeps bogging out. It won't start up, but when it did (ONCE) i hit the accelorator and it felt like it was gonna die on my. I gave it some more gas and it had no UMPHH. It just bogged out and died. I talked to a bunch of people about this problem and they say to switch out the fuel pump relay. Can't find it, so I hope you guys know where it is. PLEASE HELP ME!!! My car has been out of commission for a month now.

Although a fuel pump relay will either work or not work, not cause a hesitation..

The Fuel pump relay is under the driver seat, as seen on this very useful diagram.

In late 92 was when the FP relay moved to the pass strut tower, but I have seen a few 91 model year guys post that theirs was under the hood........

I read this and knew EXACTLY how you feel. Like has been said it's under the driver seat. Dumb place for it IMO. Should have been in the trunk or under the hood.

before you go into testing that did you try resetting your inertia switch in the trunk/hatch? that may have just been triggered, releasing fuel pressure and causing what your situation sounds like

if it was the fuel relay or pump you wouldn't have gotten that one start up with bogging/stalling IMO

Can you hear the fuel pump comeing on? Is there pressure at the shrader valve?
Are you sure you are not out of fuel? It can be many other things besides the relay. Start with simple things-like makeing sure the fuel pump is not comeing on. You should hear it with the door open when you turn the key on- if not get someone to crawl up under the tank and listen.

i think it's cool under the seat. if ur in a bad hood, just reach under the seat and take the relay with you! thats what a friend of mine w/ an 89 gt does. mines under the hood though on my 92 gt
