Is the ECU LED blinking a code?

Is the engine timed to specification? Might the timing belt have slipped?

No code but will do fuel test and take timing belt cover off to take a look . Thanks for the tip.

oh did think about the timing issue but I dont think that would have anything to do with the relay clicking would it?
