What is the location of the infamous main fuel relay?

Band Wagon
Well now it looks like the front of the Honda is jealous that the back end is getting all the attention so the engine has decided to get all moody and not start.
Prior to this, recently the car had been starting to develop the classic bad main fuel relay characteristic of not starting after short stops but then starting with a proper cool down period. I want to examine the main fuel relay for bad solder joints, but I'm embarrassed to say that I can't find the damned thing! Where precisely is it located on a '91 AWD?
I pulled out the two black square items in the fuse box and the dealy-bopper (technical term) thing above the hood release, but none of them appeared to be what I was looking for.

At least that's the location in a CRX, but it will be the same I guess.
it is located a ways above the hood-release lever. there is one 10mm bolt holding it in place. you'll see a plug with like 4 yellow wires and a few black ones going into it. the main relay itself is about 2 in x 1 in x 1 in, its a black box with a brown bottom where the plug goes in.
once you undo that bolt, its gonna take a bit of playing around to shimmy down the relay. it helps a LOT to have the fuse box panel taken out.
