The main relay, IIRC, controls both starter and injectors... an intermittant one
could most certainly affect running...

When you are driving,the interior is not as hot as when the car has been
closed up for awhile,and normal running vibrations keep the relay working.
No one here has ever reported having their main relay cut out their car -
while running-,only when it's been sitting,and more often in hot weather.

True enough, but just because no-one has reported it here doesn't mean it
couldn't happen, or hasn't happened. The fact is, the main relay energizes the
injectors, and thus COULD cause a problem with the car running. And if one is
counting on "vibrations" to "keep the relay working", I'd be very concerned
about vibrations keeping it FROM working normally as well - such a device in a
car should be virtually impervious to vibrations, period.
