86 240 DL had complete power loss (fuel system?) 200 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be Chuck Blue on  Wed Jan 9 05:12 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Hello all.
Just experienced my second major problem with old "Bessie" (345,000 miles). I was just driving along and lost all power. Electrics are fine. Car cranks over and has 3/4 tank of gas. Good spark at the coil. My guess is fuel pump or filter; possibly relay runs the FI on my gas powered 4-banger.

The questions, (asked from my desk at work) so I don't waste too much time on anything or waste my real mechanic's time:

1)where is the fuel pump so I can check the voltage?

2)where are the fuel filters located?

3)where is the fuse or relay for the FI so I can check it? Where would I check voltage at the fuel rail?

I am sure this is something very simple and really need to get the old girl back on the road. It was mighty damn cold riding my Harley to work this morning!

Please respond back to both my work and home e-mails:

Thanks in advance!
