True..I have seen all the Informercials.
The Turbonator. Some city in California put it in their fleet of vehicles and it improved gas mileage by like a whopping 2% on the lowest scale possible.

I am not driving spirited for fuel economy. Yeah I get great mileage but I dog the shit out of my car every time I get in her..

Well back to the daily grind..I have to figure out what else is wrong with her.

Ok. I have an update.
Every thing is back in its place. ICV...Fuel pump relay..so on so forth.
I go to start the car and no Purge.. no sound is coming from the pump.
I remove the pump and test it outside by using jumper leads. It runs.
I replace the Fuel Pump relay with another relay in the fuse box. It must be that there is not the right resistance or something with the replacement.
So I use a jump lead to make the pump run constantly. This works.
It tells me that my relay is dead. So out to buy one.
I will keep you all posted.

I thought the cheap Bosch relays all had the same pattern?  Some of the hits I get suggest diodes are installed in the FP relay.  I always carry spare FP & main relays in the glove box.

Are you sure the crank pos sensor is working?  Test the resistance on that plug & see if it's 'round 650 ohms.  If the CPS is bad it won't trigger the FP relay.  You might have a good one there.  Pelican sells those relays for like $15, don't they?  Not listed on their site, but I'm sure they'd mail one if you called.  BavAuto has them too, $8-$10 each.
