Right above the hood latch.
How to diagnose:
Many thanks....
Well,
145K miles / car has half a tank of gas / new plugs and wires / new battery / Apparent "quick Lube" maintenance / Click one works Click two works and the CEL goes off - Starter engages and cranks fine / (not a hint of ignition) I can't hear the 3rd click and the position of the car doesn't allow me to open the door enough to get under the dash and feel the relay. I'm tempted to go and get an ignition module... What say you?
Forgot to mention, I checked the under dash fuses also and the Fuel pump and the other (can't remember what it was) were ok..

Do you have a tachometer?
I can get one
I just downloaded the Igniter input test (thx)... Will try that next...
i say you should
if not spark, go ahead and check the ignition system. again, follow tegger's diagnostics.

Might be easier to simply have a helper sit in the driver's seat and operate the starter while you get down on your knees outide the door and use your right hand to feel for that third click from the Main Relay.
