# Engine Cont relay in

Posted by abdul (90 GXE 92 SE) on June 26, 2002 at 20:28:53:

my 92 SE. The 92 SE still has a delayed start issue..it cranks for a while before it starts. So, I tried to check the engine cont relay to see if it might have an issue. Here comes the strange part. I removed the relay from the panel close to the driver's fender under the hood. It is a green relay. If I understand correctly, the car is not supposed to start when that is removed...it will crank, but not start. In my case, the car actually started !?!? It got me and my mechanic, a 30 year old veteran stumped. I went to my other car, 90 GXE and removed the relay, it cranks, but won't start. The car starts when I put it back in. Back to the 92 SE. I tried to verify the same thing..removed green relay, car starts, idles up to 4-5k with no issues. The only thing I can think of is that it has a black PCB/circuit board looking key that needs to be in it's slot under the dash for the car to start. This was an aftermarket security installed by the previous owner. Any thoughts on how the engine starts with the engine cont relay removed? I'm not even sure if the car has a computer! Throw me some possible goodads to look out for.

TIA
Abdul

- ECCS relay also supplies power to Crank Angle Sensor and AAC valve. >>>> The Max (92 J30 Maxima (turbo project underway)) 09:19:17 6/27/2002 (1)
