Is there a difference amp rating between the blue and green relays found in the engine compartment fuse boxes?
EGI relay (Green) is broken and want to know if a blue relay would

The FSM says what amperage rating each relay is. A higher amperage relay can work in a lower amperage spot, but I wouldn't put a lower rated amp relay where a higher rated relay is called for. I'd also only use a higher rated one until I could replace it with the proper relay.

Okay, thanks. It says it in the FSM though? I have the online service manual, so it's pretty tough to skim through everything.. what section is it?

Turns out that was a lie. I did find this link while searching around.
