I'm not making an obvious wiring error, am I? 200 1981

posted by  someone claiming to be Wayne Ihara on  Sun Feb 10 20:54 CST 2002 [RELATED]

One more item.
Checking the wiring diagram between the ignition & fuel systems for the blue wires. One goes to the ignition coil after changing to brown. If the car runs then at this point I will assume that one side of the blue wire is O.K. The diagram only shows one wire(brown) at the coil. Do you see more then one wire on the + side of the coil? I know sometimes diagram can be misleading. This would leave the other blue wire going to the control pressure regulator.
Can you disconnect the connector on top of the regulator and see what happens. This is with the connector on #87b installed on the fuel pump relay.
The reason for this is- 1) the heating element inside the regulator is shorted or more of a possibilty 2) the 'infamous' wire bundle under the intake manifold that cracks insulation off wires due to heat. This could be the smoking gun?
I'm still working on the drawings by the way.
Wayne
