what's the relay click you hear at idle? 200 84

posted by  someone claiming to be Ben on  Wed Dec 6 02:20 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Hi everyone! My 83 and 84's have LH2.0 and when waiting at a stop light I often hear a

relay clicking away; sounds like it is coming from just above the radio and heater controls.

It seems to effect the idle. I am particularly concerned because I am converting a diesel

wagon to this vintage B23F, and when I put everything in there I did not run across any

relay in this location. It does not sound as if it is coming from the system or fuel pump relay,

though it's possible, but I have no idea why either of those would be changing state when the

engine is idling comfortably. The engine I installed does work. It's hard to start cold, though.

(I'm thinking the hard start unrelated to my question).

So, LH folks, what's that click?
