A few pics of what you did could help you get an answer.

It's not spurious. Replace it.

Yeah, if it was causing issues, replace it. Get the latest part number that is compatible with your car. Be warned, they're not cheap.

alright, so after some driving, i have realized it was not the problem, however i will still replace it, once i have the funds, i guess i can explain my problems to you all know, so i have no idea if these problems are connected or not, but pulling this relay fixed my idle "miss" or "shake" however, it did not fix the problem in which sometimes when de-accelerating my car will act like it died where there is no throttle response but the engine is still running, and the economy gauge does still move with throttle movement..do you guys have any ideas? sorry for the long response!
