Identify what does this relay control

its located in the drivers side back corner of the engine compartment near the brake booster. I unplugged it and noticed nothing different so i think its not used my my engine setup anymore. What was it for?
the wires coming out of it are yellow, red, green, and brown

Re: Identify what does this relay control

Just found out what this was a week ago when i was diagnosing a crank no start problem... had the whole harness pulled and laying across my passenger side fender. Come to find out that relay contains your injectors(green), fuel pump(brown), and fan(red) the other wire is a positive that kicks your fan on. If you put the fan and positive wire together your fans should pop on. An intresting fact i also found... did you know your injectors provide a positive lead for your fuel pump? Yep its spliced right into it... food for thought
