check out the main realy or if its idling funny then check the air screw to see if its getting enough air cause probably when ur car warms up an u try to fire up again it fails

The main relay itself is located inside the car, just to the left of the fuse panel under the dash. Its mounted to a black bracket, and is being held in place by one 10mm bolt.

Heres what the relay looks like outta the car....

Once opened up you can see how shitted up all the contacts are. IDK if you can see in the pic, but there's actually rust on some of the contacts.

Here's the new one ready to go back in, and I tried to get a shot of the numbers on it.
