My experience with this tells me that on my '87, the relay on the
passenger side is fuel pump, but not injectors.  The reason I say
this is that you can take that relay out, run your engine and it'll
depressurize the fuel system by burning whatever gas is pressurized
in the lines.  The engine should die in a few seconds.

This allows you to depressurize the fuel lines when you replace them.

On the Digijet ('83.5-'85 1.9L gas engine), I believe that relay
controls both.  That means to depressurize the fuel system, pulling
that relay won't work.  You need to pull the fuel pump ground wire
and then run the engine the same way as above.
