That silver relay mounted on the "firewall", is your fuel pump relay. If
it is clicking while the engine is running, something is not right in
your FI wiring. There is another relay exatly like it under the back
seat by the voltage regulator. Check that the screw that is mounting it
is tight. The one under the back seat is the FI power relay, and they do
come loose once in a while.
