Location Of Fuel Pump Relay

I have a 91 and also cannot find the relay. I'm hoping someone can tell me the location.

I can also tell you that the air intake plays a part in the fuel pump receiving power. If there is no air coming through the air intake the pump will not get power. The engine must be turning over either by the starter or by running for the pump to be energized.

Fuel Pump relay should be above the driver's left foot, against the kick panel, 6 position connector with 5 wires (black/red, yel/black, green/red, black, green/yel). And yes, the Vane Air Flow Meter provides a ground to relay coil. During cranking, there should be 12v on yel/black and black/red, and coming out on green/yel. There should be ground on the black wire. When running, ground should be present on the green/red wire, and the black/red should loose power.

Also check the safety cut off switch. That's in the back of the car. Just a small black button on the drivers side, if I remember right. It's underneath the speaker.
