Any old short jumper wire will do, doesn't have to be that fancy for a quick troubleshooting job.

Use a paperclip. Straighten is out and bend it into a U.

Just shorting across those terminals to make the pump run nonstop for a minute or 2.

Turn the key on first, and see if you hear the fuel pump running. You should be able to hear it.

But yes, go ahead and try to start the car after that.

Don't think you jumpered the right pins in that case. How thin was the wire you used?

I gotta be honest, this is a pretty entry level troubleshooting thing here. Maybe time to stop and call your mechanic for some help. It only gets more difficult from this point.



Notice the picture on the side of the relay: 30 and 87 are the pins switched by the relay.

Take a look at the JDS page for some more no start troubleshooting.

I think you too jumped the wrong ones. 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock (NOT 12!!) like the previous pic suggests.
