I've been in the community for 8 years, and totally am brainfarting as to what part of the car you're referring to? Can you please clarify this, as my curiosity has been peaked (: ?Originally Posted by David T

Actual snippet of a conversation from Sept 2013:
Me: Eddie, I can't wait to get the car back when you're done with it.
Eddie: Yeah, you'll be able to give the car gas, and it won't be - like - embarrassing....

The black "bucket" around the windshield washer reservoir. It tends to get plugged up at the bottom and fill up with water. If you have it off for any reason drill out drain holes much larger. 3/8" or so. DO NOT DO THIS IN PLACE or you'll drill into the tank too.

Yeah, if you have an original relay replace it - in fact replace all of them.
Still though because you are flirting with other possibilities I again suggest looking at AAA premier service - 100 miles of towing (flatbed included) is great to have in your back pocket. DMCCA is about 75 miles away from me now - and traffic an be a PAIN on some days. I'll admit that I have called AAA to tow the vehicle down there for me free just because I have wanted to get misc. work done and didn't feel like driving it and hasseling with taking the train home.

Dave/Bitsyncmaster's solid state RPM relay is worth the money.

Might be worth just checking spade connections at the ignition coil and ballast resistors.

Hey Dave, what terminals do you use for the three wire jumper. Hervey has the two jumper spots shown. Which one is the third?

I've committed this to memory. Just remember the two heavy gauge wires power the pump and the double wire also needs power (that's the lambda).
Brown to white/purple to double yellow/red
