heres a way to check this....after a nice long drive around 12-3ish pm when its hot. start your pt but not turning over the engine. make sure u have all accessories(radio) off and listen for the fuel pump to prime the engine. if u dont hear it its most likely the main relay
cool thanks man im going to try it tomorrow. all the vacuum lines are sealed up pretty good.

the car was running better a few days ago but the check engine light was on. the dealership changed the air temp sensor and it ixed the problem for a day then started idling stupid again.
