How's the battery voltage and fluid level?

Bill,
The starter always works fine (always cranks). But if the computer
has not provided a ground to the fuel pump relay, it won't start and
run. Both the check engine light and the ASD and fuel pump relays are
supposed to get a ground from the computer. I don't know if it is
because the computer is not getting 12v from the ignition switch or if
it is unable to get a good ground.
Latest test: I put a test light on pin 5 on the computer data link
connector to see if that point was getting 12v as soon as the
ingnition switch is turned to run. It checked out fine, but the check
engine and relays still have a (this time) 6 second delay before it
turns on. I'm now thinking it is either:
1) the wire from the data link connector splice to the computer that,
or
2) the computer has a bad ground connection (even though I cleaned it
already), or
3) the computer or its connector is going bad.
