help with main relay

[GollumSi]

So I got my car together but it won't start. Figured out that it isn't getting fuel at all. I tested the pump and there is no power coming from the main relay but I can't seem to find it under the dash. I followed the FSM and am more lost than I was when I started looking. LOL. Is there anyone that can tell me where it is at or maybe have a pic of it in their own car. I have looked everywhere. I would really appreciate the help.

Thanx, I found it earlier today. It was all the way in the back corner. Now that that is replaced the fuel pump comes on and I am getting fuel to the rail but it still won't start. I am about to lose my mind on this car.

man 2 problems at once that sucks, check for power at the dizzy and the injectors.

Thanx...I will be doing that tonight after work. I mean I knew it would be a little bit of a project but didn't realize it would be this much of a pain in the a$$. I'm starting to think that I should just drive my eg hatch around and get a B16 or B18 and just do a full swap instead of messing with this stupid D16 that is in it. Either that or pull it and put it back together from scratch. Well, that I'm not doing but I will be checking for power at the dizzy and the injectors tonight. Thanx for the info.

So after replacing the main relay, dizzy, injectors and whatever else. I rechecked the ecu with the test harness and it was all good then tested the compression again and the injector leads with a noid light for the 30th time they still werent firing so I got tired of it all and ripped out the harness for the injectors and put in the other one I had in my shop and tested everything again and it fired up. I was so happy to hear it turn over and start. Then the idle was sticking so after adjusting it and lookinng at it I realized the last owner had bent the throttle body. So off to U-pull it I went grabbed another one. Switched it out yesterday and it idles perfectly now. So today I am getting tags on it and taking it for a drive. I need to figure out something with the suspension though. When I drove it the other night it hurt. The last guy cut the springs so I need to replace them fast. I'm a bigger guy and my kidneys don't like that much abuse. LOL.

I have searched and read the forums on lowering it and the different options but still have no idea which I should do. I want it only a little lower than stock. Suck in the tires a bit but not slam it on the ground. Any GOOD ideas on a small budget? I mean like $150 or less.
