87 is zero volts too ground

85 is 3.5 volts...I think this explains the 8 volt reading between 85 and 86 which I think needs 12 volts to actuate the relay...so need to find why pole 85 is at 3 or so volts

Funny thing is that the car actually starts ...just stalls every so often

replaced the ignition switch in the spring of this year with a vw replacement...havent had any running issues since then...other than that just the window regulator that I just replaced

Cheers
Pole 30 position at the relay panel..... or lets call it the "relay socket".
Should "only show voltage with the key on". There should be "no voltage with key off"
That voltage is coming from fuse C4 the fuel pump relay fuse.
It is switched power. It is what activates or switches the relay.
If it is showing voltage at relay socket 30 with key off you have some wiring issues.
