    Has nothing to do with mositure Which is spelled Moisture , but what happens after years of key on key off the solider points tend to crack . You can take them apart and re solider those contacts and be good to go . If that is the problem with his car!

    Relay is clicking. Sometimes when I turn it over it doesn't click and the engine light comes on. But even when the light doesn't come on the fuel pump still doesn't come on at all. Could it be anything other than the relay ?

    did your ecu get wet sometimes in the older cars water can find its way down there to the plugs. had a friend with a del sol that leaked when parked a certain way just dried the plugs and ecu with blow drier and it ran. also some store brand pumps just dont last long or even start right up when installed and have to go get another ive seen it happen but dont know why! also could be the muffler bearing or kanooter valve! lol jk!
    LET ME GUESS... YOU MISSED A GEAR!
