car wont start or stay running.

Has anybody ran into this problem? my car wont start or stay running I'm pretty sure its the fuel pump relay which is located under the hood with the fuses and other relays. The relay is fine but the connection is bad. If i push down hard on the relay the car starts but as soon as i take pressure off the relay the car starts to run rough and dies like it is not getting any fuel. I am all out of ideas and patience HELP if any body has any ideas or similar experiences. I tried to set all the relays and fuses already like other posts have suggested i know its the fuel pump relay cause its done this before and it was an easy fix by just wiggling the relay but not anymore.

Your problem could be a loose connection on the bottom of your relay block it self. Un-hook your battery and see if you can move the connections that the relay sets in. The wires could be loose on the plug assembly

I tried the relay and fuse block. I don't want to tear it all apart due to the car still being under warranty. I don't want them to come back and put blame on me for the car not working. I'm starting to think it might be something else possibly the fuel pump itself or a bad connection in the wiring somewhere. I wish Tuesday would get here so i can get my car to the dealership. All this wondering this and that is driving me crazy. Not the way i wanted to ring in the new year

My car is at the dealership service department so far had to replace fuse and relay block. service manager said they wanted to keep the car overnight to make sure they have all the bugs worked out before they give the car back. On a fun note the service manager said he loved the way it looked lowered and was curious where i had it done told him SO CAL HHRS your welcome Mike for the free ad hope they refer some business your way I'm sure they will be as happy as i was when i received my mods.
