    What is the purpose of the fuel pump resistor? Run on resistor at normal driving?

    It slows down the fuel pump.

    Mostly though..it screws with us and causes the car to run for a couple seconds and die. Piss us off and make us replace it.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Its behind the passenger fender up by the battery. If you buy the replacement one you just unhook the current one and drill a hole an screw the new one to the firewall.

    Running it at high mode all the time will make you go through pumps...it is meant to be a temp fix.

    I'd rather change out the pump than deal with that BS.

    i just did mine yesterday, it really isnt too bad, just take your passenger wheel off, take off all that plastic shield in the fender, you will see a bracket connected to your washer bottle remove that and you will have more than enough room to take it out. To get to the harness to plug the new one in just remove your battery and head light as shown in the pic and its right there can't miss it, it took me about 45 minutes to do, the only tough part about it is the diagnosing that that part was actually bad lol
