Disabling FP Relay cut-out



I was attempting to send a reply to Mike Del Tergo, but it appears that 
his AOL account may be misbehaving.  He had asked me for info about which 
wire needs to be grounded on a 5k to disable the fuel pump cutout by the 
ECU.  All my attempts have bounced, so I'll post to the list.  It may allow
others who have the complete directions to comment as well ...

===========================================================================

Well, I got out the Bentley and checked the wiring for the '87-'88 5kCSQ ...
there appear to be a few connections between the FP Relay and the ECU.  I
think the primary candidate is the Br/G wire that goes from pin 21 on the ECU
to pin BS on the fuse box and pin 47/T on the fuel pump relay.  The thing is
that if you simply ground this connection the FP relay will be on all the
time that the ignition is on.  I don't recall what Charlie suggested ... was
it a connection to the oil pressure switch so that you needed oil pressure to
get the fuel pump going?  I wonder if it'd be possible to retrofit an older
FP relay that took a tach input ...

I'll look for Charlie's instructions ... If I find them I'll get that info to
you ...

Take care!
