Wiring gremlins, any ideas?


Recommended Posts

so my '86 2.5L broke down a while ago.

 

No fuel, the pump wasn't kicking on when I turn the key to the run position.

 

Looked at the relay, wasn't firing, bridged the power sources in the relay, pump kicked on.

 

Replaced the relay, still doesn't work, i found the ground in that particular relay pigtail is extremely weak.

 

Even with the fuel pump bridged and running, no ignition.

 

so I'm assuming the bad ground effecting the relay is also stopping the ignition from working correctly.

 

I did all of the grounds from the renix tip page, firewall, tail light, dipstick. No help.

 

So i moved on to the c101 connector. I can't find it, there isn't one. Which tells me maybe my '86 isn't 100% '86.

 

Great, so now I have a bad ground, I assume it's somewhere in the loom? I'm considering running a ground wire right to the relay pigtail and seeing if that's my problem. I'm not a big fan of fixing things the "wrong" way. Any ideas?

 

Any input would be great, leads, ideas on where I should check next. I can't find any obvious faults, pinches, cuts, etc in the loom. What am I missing?
