Classic symptoms of a failing fuel pump relay. I haven't read all your posts - have you replaced this? These little black boxes do a lot more than just control fuel delivery. Hence the price

Hi,

Hmmm - have you changed the OVP relay?

It is behind the battery and ECU.

If you have not changed it then do so.

Default Loosing spark

Give some more details about your problems. Does it hesitate when you step on the accelerator (Gas Pedal)?

I would then start inspecting every wire and connection. I would pull each component from its socket and clean all connections, and disconnect ever wire connection and clean them. While in my hand, I would check as much of the actual wiring as I could. Grounds in particular.And I'd pull every fuse and clean all those connections - the fuses do corrode where they contact their connection.

How did you know you do not have any spark? Have you physically check if you are getting current through your spark plug wires when you start the engine?
