The relay race!

[jiffydarren]

Here's the deal,

Fuel pump relay goes in and out. Sometimes I have to open the hood and wiggle the fuel pump relay around until i hear the fuel pump kick on. Do I need to replace the power distribution box? Bend some contact points? What's my next move?

Thanks in advance

For starters, I would try cleaning the contact points and then using some dielectric "bulb" grease on them. That may fix the issue. Another possibility is a relay going bad. To check that, swap the fuel pump and ac compressor relays and see if the problem persists. Good luck!

Simple things first. Replace the relay. They do fail over time.
