Fancy name for a relay
More commonly callec the EFI relay. Supplies power to the ecu to turn it on. Seperate to battery supply.

Yes Holden202T there was posts and its true that just because a relay is felt clicking dose not mean its functioning properly.

It seems there are more relays failing now days than ever before. Quality dropping off

I checked them and swapped out mine for his. Unless it wasn't a relay. Oh well once I see the receipt I'll know for sure.
