Taken from RAVE:

The two multiport fuel injection relays are located in
the RH footwell area behind the ’A’ post panel. The
main relay module is energized via the ECM when the
ignition is switched on and supplies current to the
multiport fuel injection system. The fuel pump relay
module is energized by the ECM which in turn
operates the fuel pump to pressurize the fuel system.

Here's what you're pump relay looks like. It's under the hood, passenger side, along the fender,close to the washer fluid resivoir.

Here it is a little better- but you'rs is not AEL(pre-mid'97), so it may vary slightly.

Sorry, I didn't realize when I pulled the info that those two relays are the furl injector relays, not the fuel pump relay. What Kenk said is correct.

That's what I thought, how do I test if that's my problem or not.
