Fuel System problem continued 200 1987

posted by  someone claiming to be Pete Aykroyd on  Sat Feb 24 05:43 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hi all,

I've finally had a chance to get back to my dead car storage (read parent's house) this weekend to work on my 87. I've posted several times about this over the past couple of months. My fuel pumps are working, the fuel relay is good, there's a spark, so today I was checking the AMM. First I tried disconnecting it and then trying to start the motor (I thought that I'd been told to do this) It wouldn't start. So I tried some of the tests listed in the Bentley. The test was of the heated wire... It said to test at ambient temperature, and it was around 30 degrees outside. I ran the test and it was supposed to fall in between 3.5 and 4.5 ohms, it read .5. I also tried running warm air through meter just for kicks, and it was still very low. According to the Bentley should replace the meter now. I'm not keen on this unless I'm sure that it's bad since a new one is pretty expensive. Can anyone give me some advice on this?

Thanks for your help.

Pete
