  • No spark....bad main relay...help needed!

    Long story short....washed the engine on my '93 automatic Festiva to find an oil leak, once fixed wouldn't start in cold weather (no spark when I put a spark plug in the main coil wire), once car moved inside a warm garage it would start. Now no start even in warm weather and no spark. Found that the main relay (PCM relay?) near the driver's side headlight was full of water and rust and doesn't have any continuity so wondering if this is the main issue?

    If so, can anyone tell me what the main relay's part number is (is anyone here able to check yours and see if there is a part number on yours as my part number is faded and not readable) AND/OR what other main relays are compatible (Mazda, Escort, Aspire?) and their part numbers AND/OR what amps is this main relay so I can look for a compatible generic one? (not worried about the harness on the end as I'm hoping to adapt my plug to a possible generic main relay)....there is very little info out there on the Festiva's main relay! Pics below:

    Go to a junkyard and get another one from a festiva. Cheap!
