The clicking am talking about > happens random while driving, and associates with bad fuel delivery (irratic > running) The rear window defogger obviously has nothing to do with it, and if it were the FI main power relay then the engine would cut completely in and out as the relay clicked. This might actually be happening, but that would not be the fault of the relay, but rather of the circuit that is driving it. > Mau be I should check the fuel pump contacts? If it is the fuel pump relay that is clicking then you should look at the circuit that drives it, the problem is not the fault of the relay. > Also, would a bad voltage regulator cause bad idle? Yes! And bad gas mileage, and bad crusing, and bad acceleration.... And, yes, they start to click erratically when they are going bad.
