Help please with fuel pump relay, which terminals to link out to run from engine compartment.
Similarly which to link out on diagnostic socket to turn engine without sparks.
Have these written down somewhere but gone walkabout.

Short 30 and 87 to bypass a 'standard' single pole relay. 30 is the 12 volts live from the battery.
Pin 11 on the diagnostic socket connects to the starter solenoid, and pin 14 is the 12 volts live from the battery that you short it to.

Mark the diagnostic socket ones with tipex or paint. You might find it very useful one day, when away from home.
