    I'll bite. I can give you some basic information on testing a relay. You'll need an ohm meter and sufficient knowledge to understand what you are reading and two jumper wires with alligator clips on each end.

    Does this relay have 4 prongs?

    yes 4 prongs.

    Simple way to find the coil. The only two that show a resistance other than infinity. The feed to the fuel pump will show open until the coil is energized. You might be able to energize the coil with a 9 volt battery enough to test. Going to take jumpers or another set of hands. Once the relay picks check continuity across the other two terminals with your ohm meter.
