Well, figured out half the trouble. The fuel pump wasnt coming on because the
engine hadnt been cranked, therefore no distributor crank reference signal
from the HEP. DU!!! I figured it out when I checked for power to the coil.
There wasnt any, so I plugged in a spare distributor that had a HEP in it.
Plugged it in, turned it, the LM got a reference signal and the pump came to
life. Now with the one onthe engin plugged in, when I turn the car to run it
powers the pump for its initial charge like it is supposed to.
I think I figured out the starter problem as well. There is a short in the
brown wire between the relay and the solenoid. I think I know why... There is
coolant leaking from the back of the head!!! Seems to be getting the starter
wires wet, causing the short. Do any of the intake/exahust bolt holes break
into
a water jacket in the head? That would explain the coolant leak...
In an 86 T-I G body, what would keep the fuel pump from coming on when you
turn the key on? Its been sitting for years, and Im getting it going again,
but
when you turn the key, nothing happens. The starter dont turn over either. I
can hear a relay click, but thats all. I just put the starter in, and its
known
good. What should I look for?
