if the inertia switch is not tripped then you need to see why the ecm is not grounding the relay coil for the f relay....there should be a larger gauge wire hot and the one that becomes hot when relay windings are pulled in which then makes the wire to FP hot hence FP operation....the two smaller wires = 1 switched 12 for relay windings and the other is the ecm ground for windings = controlled by ecm when PIP is seen, PIP is generated/filtered by the tfi on the dizzy, stator in the dizzy Id's tdc and tfi transmits info to ecm where it is all interpereted as inputs and from there ecm performs output functions such AS grounding the windings to the fp relay
