I have a 2001 Mitsubishi eclipse and i think my fuel relays are bad. When I connect the battery and ohmmeter to the relay its suppose to indicate zero continuity but it is indicating .02 and .05. Are these relays bad?|||Infinite resistance is displayed in the form of O.L. on most multimeters, this means that the relays are blown, i.e., no contact between any of them. Any form of resistance such as your .02 Ohms and .05 Ohms means that there is some for of resistance within the relay, this indicates, assuming the Ohms are at the correct setting if you're not using an auto-ranging multimeter, that the relays are good, since there will always be some form of resistance in a circuit.|||pin 30 to pin 87 should be open circuit if the relay is not energized.
a 9v battery will energize it and then the reading should go to .02 ish ohms.
best way to check a relay is use a pocket screwdriver to pop the shell off and get a good
visual. if the contacts are burnt you can replace it or just cleaning them off will usually get you by for a while.|||In all the years I've worked on Mitsubishi's the only relays that have gone bad were in the Eclipse RS and GS. I highly doubt your car has a relay problem.
Try jumping the relay so that the fuel pump is always on and try starting the car.
I had a customer that could not get his 4 cylinder Galant running and the problem turned out to be the Bosch spark plugs he put in recently. Asian cars need NGK or Denso spark plugs or all sorts of strange **** happens, including no start. Pull the plugs and see if they are wet and flooded. Leave the plugs out for an hour so the extra fuel evaporates.
