More dumb questions from Gravy

[Gravy]

Sorry to double post, new info and an update.

Did plugs on the car and she runs, was getting too much fuel and still am... but don't know why.

Started the car up, drove from home to the gas station where i noticed i was leaking gas from the front pas. side. I tried to figure out where from, but couldn't see with the light. Got $2.00 worth of premium gas in and took off for home. Got home and grabbed a trouble light and saw there was what looked like the evap canister in the area the gas was leaking from.

The car will sit untill friday, any and ALL ideas are welcome.... and i'm sure i've got the gas hooked into the right line... but that's the only thing that could even come to mind after seeing what i saw.

Sounds like you need someone else to look at the car, befor something realy bad happens.

It's all good, i know what i'm doing but i just don't know the car. Turns out i had the lines on wrong the first time, and even after switching them there was fuel in the evap can. So, when pressure would build up the gas would start leaking from the can. With a little help from the guys down at Brookdale Mitsubishi, i got the fuel pump diagram and the vapor return and fuel return were mixed up. I blew through the line on the vapor return and got all the fuel out while it was in the garage and fired it up. Ran like a charm, took it for a few pulls and getting 0 counts of knock through first, and second. Has a loose ball joint on the passengers side, after finding that out i quit messing around. 2% on the SAFC and she runs great, 800 rpm idle, no surge and everything else on her looks good. Belts freshly done 6k miles ago, alt and timing belt. Wires on it are in good condition and fresh plugs in and needs a new air filter. Doing fuel filter tomorrow and may do the ball joint, or just take it in since i'll need an alignment as well.

Sounds like a chevy made love to a civic and popped that thing out.

Fuel filters rarely go bad in these cars, I probably wouldn't bother.

Continuing with some dumb questions, seeing if anyone else has heard of this. But i ran into a problem today on my way home, after a long time driving and running around the car started to "Click" inside like a relay was going off and the car would shut off. I got about 2 miles from home and it finally killed on me. Let the car sit for an hour to let the relay cool(whichever it was) then she fired up like a top, drove it as quick as possible home(No cops in the boonies and no moon) and as i was pulling into the pole barn it started back up.

Turns out to be relay that controls the fuel system on the car. See signature for more input. I'd be willing to believe this is right because the SAFC-II was jumping all over the board, throttle position was changing constantly when it was clicking(even with the vehicle off) 02 voltage was all over the place as well. Main question is, i've read of one case where after the replacement of this relay(PN: E8T07871 0703) the ECU went on someone. Think this was a coincidence or should i get the caps re-done? Second point, anyone know how to do them and willing to for a price? As before, see car info below. Don't think it will be much different between the two.

Sounds like bad caps to me. It is pretty rare for a relay to go bad, but can happen.

Anyone know how to replace the caps, or any of the shops able to do it? I don't feel like frying an ECU if i can spend a few extra bucks and get it fixed.

Going to replace the Relay anyways, because the ECU still works at this time, but kinda worried about driving it now after reading that. Any and all input or ideas would be great.
