Cleaning out the corrosion on the contacts inside the fuel pump relay worked as my 88 244 fired right up without ANY hesitation! All I have to do is have a hood hinge from a boneyard ordered to me tomrrow and the car will be good to go! Unfortunately I still can't find the electrical problem with my '87...However I have it narrowed down to the stupid air siren that the previous owner had installed on the car. Apparently there's 12 volts running directly to the siren even with the battery off. I cut the wires that connect the siren to the battery as I thought maybe the horn was hard-wired into the battery, but it's still getting 12 volts. Thus somewhere deep within the bowls of my engine, the siren is still somehow getting power and it's going to be A LOT of work as the wires are wedged deep down between the rear part of the engine and firewall...I'm just going to sell this car and get a better 240 up here once I have the money. Until then I can enjoy driving my M-47II 5 speed :)
