pgm-fi relay replaced, now won't start

I just put in a new pgm-fi relay and now the car won't start. Just keeps cranking and no firing up. I put the old relay back in and still just cranking, not starting. I pulled the clock fuse thinking that would reset the relay but still not starting. Any suggestions?

so if both relays don't work, chances are it's not the relay that's the problem


check the battery and/or starters.

Relay

Well it was starting and running fine until I put in the new relay. It would stall on me periodically and it was suggested that I replace the relay and ignition switch assembly. So I put in the new relay and it cranks over fine but doesn't fire up. The starter is new so that is not the problem and it wouldn't crank over if the starter was bad. Battery is fine as it cranks over fine. But what I can't figure out is when I put back in the old relay it won't start. I guess I will have to test the wire from the fuel pump to see if it is getting juice to the fuel pump.

I was thinking that perhaps there was a reset that has to be performed when you put in a new relay.

There is no reset that needs to be performed. When trying to start it do you see the green key light flashing?

Check all your fuses.
