    By the color wires on them. In post 9 the colors are there. They are the same relays and can be swapped. If FP relay is not working, swap the two then turn key on, if you don't get things to power up then FP relay is bad, if it does power up the re n relay is good and problem is something else

    If the gray Tach wire should not be grounded. Ifthe Tach shorts out or the gray wire is grounded it will kill the spark. Disconnect the wire to take it out of the equation If you have a purple/white wire this would mean you have a TBV ignition.
