Im in Rhode Island bro, kind of far. If you ship it today, can you get it to be here by tomorrow? Also how much do you want for it?

If you need the car to move asap, switch it for one that isn't needed for the car to move.

i was just thinking about that but since im going on a 4hr ride im not sure if i want that. I dont think i will be moving the car now anyways, damn oil pan has a leak that i have no idea where it is coming from so that is the new problem.

isn't it just a regular relay you can pick up anywhere? Just jump the wires if you need a quick fix... I think i'ts the 86 terminal and the 30 terminal..

Maybe it isn't your oil pan leaking... check your oil pressure switch..... do it for me.... do it...... DO IT... do it

Checked the oil pan switch and it is dry. The pan is leaking from the front but i can't find where the oil is coming from. This is really pissing me off someone please help me.

Dry the oil pan as much as you can with a rag.. get it as clean as possible.. then start the car and have a friend rev the motor.. Take a look underneath when he does that....revving the motor will cause the oil pressure to go up and see a leak if at all....i think that e30's go up like 10psi/1000rpm's.. something like that. it's worth a try.. just clean it goood..

just an FYI, if your fuel pump relay ever dies and you are stuck somewhere, you can swap it with the O2 heater relay to limp home (they are right next to each other). the heater relay just gets the O2 sensor into it's operating range sooner, it will still work without it though once the exhaust warms it up.
