Well,the main relay activates the fuel pump(if the MR is working)."looking
at it,it seems OK" is not going to tell you if it -is- OK or not.

This tells you how to FIX the relay and eliminate it as a potential
problem.

Or you can spend $50 (or more) and replace it.

Then it could also be a worn ignition switch.
