eec?? where is that located?

The EEC relay is located below the fuse box under the hood Kris. Its the same one that i kept popping when i had that dead short in my truck. It will be the brown one. I've got a spare at work I will grab for you to try.

well we got it to run the other night, ended up bing a bad computer(water leak in the cowl), so we swaped it out and it fired right up, ran nice, was very surprised, no spoke, lifter tick, nothen.


thanks for the help
