Go buy one, even a cheap one from Amazon is better than nothing. Very handy tool for working on cars.

And yes you can use a higher Amp relay. A relay is nothing more than an electronic switch. With a higher amp rating, it just means the contacts inside the relay are a little more beefy than a 70 amp relay.

(A relay is not a fuse, where as that is a bad idea replacing a lower amp fuse with a higher one.)

I googled the P1857 code and i get that it might be faulty MAF? I do have a spare used MAF so might change swap them today and see what happens.
