Fuel Pump Relay?

[Tanga]

So Today...

Had the VR4 at work and decided to go check the post box. Thrashing it up Parnell (Eat that Audis etc ;P), full **** 1st and 2nd, BOV on every change etc haha

Then went to Supermarket, went to leave Super market and starts fine, idles great - So much as look at the gas peddle = Dies.

Kept starting and trying to take off for 30 mins, gave up and got a ride back to work. Came back an hour later, boom no problem, drove home after work, no problem.


Had the mechanic at work look, he could hear a tick each time the relay kicked in - Is this ok or does that mean its stuffed?
Does this mean the fuel pump could be poop? - Id rather try the cheapest solution first ($5 for Adams relay) but don't want to if im way off the mark with the real issue?

Any advice bois? Thanks!!

Relays are electromechanical devices that work by creating a magnetic field in an electrical coil, which moves a contact from one place to another. The noise you hear is that contact hitting either of its resting spots.

Ok so when I dont hear a tick, then theres a problem

You could just bypass the relay to see if that's the issue.
