Does anyone know how one checks the relays? I mean, other than visually inspecting them to make sure they haven't exploded or something... Is there a resistance specification they should be at, or should one just check continuity at the relay, or what?

My car will not start, and I've gotten the battery recharged...mine will crank, though, so it's a little different situation, but no start. I have gas in the tank, and I've checked the coil and the wires and plugs are new, and the coil is firing, so I'm left with either a reclusive electrical issue or a fuel issue... I'm ruling out an air issue, because I checked the filter, and I've kept the throttle body and IAC and MAF clean, and the car started before I put it in the garage for a couple weeks...blah.
