Relays, where to get?

[rjjuge]

Okay, used freescan and got a code 26, checking for relays and... They're not there...

ha. 95 s4, i need to find the following relays:

secondary injector resistor, oil tell tale rpm inhibit (rpm relay), and a throttle jack/ebpv changeover relay..

Odd that the car runs.....

Code 26 popped up on my 90SE a couple of times in the past, and an ECU reset usually took care of it. The last time, I just pulled the relays, and cleaned the contacts/made sure of good connection in holder, problem solved. If you pull the relay and (flame suit on) smell them, you can tell if one got burnt.

Also, don't know if you ever have problems with the low coolant level light, but that will trigger code 26 as well. Cleaning the float sensor takes care of it.

Hi! If you did indeed burn a relay, I have had no trouble getting them from Advanced Auto stores for my 88' turbo. I bought a couple of matching relays to have as spares for around $10 each. They have a book that can match up the relay pretty easily if you pop it out and take in to them. (Don't tell em' it's from an Esprit until they get used to the idea!!!)

I've got everything but the secondary injector resistor.

Anyone know where I can get one? a few hours left before the auto shops close. Anyone have any numbers on theirs?

I got a code 26 on my 90 SE. Replacing the wastegate solenoid relay and the secondary injection resistor fixed my problem. I got mine from JAE.

Hi,
Heres the secondary injector relay:


Got mine from SJ: www.sjsportscars.co.uk/home.asp

This is just pasted from the end of an older thread of mine regarding my own Code 26 fault. Note the secondary injector was one of the listed items:

paul c said:

...As said before, this is a common fault code, IF the nine or so items on it actually had their OWN fault codes (like eveything else) then it would not be as common... Freescan split the code culprits into two groups and identified the places i should be looking: Secondary injector relay, fan relay, cannister solenoid and wastegate solenoid. It also said in the 'tip' line that something was probably open circuit. I decided to blitz the fault rather than do individual components and wires. This is because as the fault is intermittant, if i did one single item at a time and then ran til the fault came - it could take ages as sods law dictates i would change the faulty item last. I phoned SJ and bought the Secondary injector relay, fan relay,and wastegate solenoid. This only came to about £40, i did not get the cannister solenoid (this comes as a complete assembly for about £40) the cost did not prevent me buying it, but as it requires (fairly easy) removal of the boot floor i thought i'd try the others first. At the same time as changing these, i pulled every plug on the fault code (whether on my split or not) and cleaned the pins, and made tight any plug contacts that looked like they could be tighter. So i can't nail any individual culprit, but £40 and an hours time is worth a shot to get your boost back. This was three weeks ago, have not seen the check light or fault since.

This was three months ago now

I was trying to get one locally so my esprit could be running for the weekend. called JAE and ordered one, it'll be here Monday ($50.. $25 for shipping).

That could explain why my car is running rich as hell, couldn't it? the fact that the relay is flat out missing....
