Whats your fuel pressure? Depending on the pressure, well atleast I do this, cause I don't care about getting gas around but I just crack the nut and hold a bucket there to let it spray into.

Its alot faster then dicking around with a relay in my opinion but I'm just lazy.

I/P is instrument panel but thats on a turbo. The N/T FP relay is on the firewall by the brake fluid reservoir. Of the 3 relays there it's the one towards the center of the car.

I just want to ask, do you have some pictures of this center I/P? I am trying to locate my pump relay and i even don't know where is that center I/P. Maybe some pictures would be a great help.

So, I have a 97 gsx that has been sitting for at least 6 years. I have disconnected the fuel pump connector to relieve pressure, and cranked it over a few times. Disconnected the fuel line, and ran hose to a container. I had planned to trip the relay to get the fuel pump running to expend all other old, nasty fuel out, but I can't find it! The haynes manual says the fuel pump relay is on the right of the console, next to the MPI, but as I look under the I/P, the previous owner had to have ripped and rerouted EVERYTHING. Complete FUBAR! Also tried looking in the passenger side, but to no avail. Anyone have actual pictures of what it should look like and in the general vicinity? Am I correct in that it should be a 4 flat prongged connector?

The stock location is here with a 4 pin rectangular connector: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=90631&d=1230882598.
Of course if he rewired it, it may be anywhere.

If you're trying to trip the fuel pump you're doing it the hard way. The factory provided a jumper connection up by the battery.

I'm very doubtful that six year old pump will fire. Gas tank probably looks like a mummys tomb after six years.
