it should be the main relay under the dash on the driver side its gray and held in place by one bolt you have to remove a black box in front of the relay before you can remove the relay they are both held on by 10mm bolts two on the black box and one on the relay

I wouldn't get too hung up on what autozone or the specific aftermarket manufacturer has decided to call it especially since neither is absolutely correct...it's actually called the PGMFI main relay. As for price...different manufacturer? I don't know, maybe I'm mistaken, but I don't think so.

Are you sure that the main relay is your problem? When your car does not start and you have the key on the "on" position, can you hear that fuel pump making any noise? It's most likely the main relay but you should check if the fuel pump is making any sound just in case. Also, you can re-solider the cracked points inside the relay and save yourself some money. I know of people that have done this and it fixed their problem.
