Hello all,

> system (600 model.) I got the new shocks on, dropped it, put in the new
> battery and now it won't start. I pulled all the fuel lines one by one all

> nothing. There was no pressure either. I don't hear it run when I turn on
> the ignition either. It's cranking like a motha though. The fuse is fine
> and I checked the Safety shutoff which was not tripped. I even jumped the
> wires that plug into it. The one thing I haven't found or tested is the FP
> relay. I have a Chilton manual which kind of sucks and doesn't show the

A friend had the same problem on an older Bronco. We found the relay close to the firewall by the power break booster. Check for a clic of the relay when you turn the ignition to the on position. Good luck!!
