I need help
I have a 97 the fuel pumps dont come on when i turn the key on. Im not getting any fuel pressure. I tried to get a book on this thing to see if there were any relays, but I was told they dont make one. Also the fuse is good.

You were told "they" don't make a service manual for your car? You were lied to.......

Service manuals for your 97 are available. They are like three big phone books and cost around $150. (at least the ones for a 99 are) They may also be out on discs but I prefer the books. Do yourself a big favor if you plan on keeping your car for a while and doing as much of your own work as you can and buy them. That way you get almost all your questions answered without frustrating the few impatient but extremely knowledgeable people on this forum. ( most people on here are very friendly, patient and know there stuff and are always willing to help, even the ones that sometimes seem to have an attitude will go above and beyond to help, they just like to see posters try to find the answers by doing a "search" first) Welcome to the forum.

Ok bro, trying to help here.......but you don't seem to be following.
....and here's where someone like me get's accused of being impatient. It's difficult to help when you don't even answer the questions asked....or acknowledge the suggestions and info provided.

You asked if there is anyway of telling the relay is bad, and I told you how to check that.....and suggested jumpering the relay socket to make the fuel pump run.
Good luck
