Hello,
I recently purchased an 86 240 wagon. The previous owner had an intermittent starting problem, took it to a shop and they replaced the coil. This was approximately 4 months ago and now the problem seems to be back. The car cranks fine. I pulled the coil wire from the distributor and there is good spark. I smell no fuel. I've seen in the forums about the very common problems with the fuel pump relay - though I couldn't figure out if it affects spark or fuel delivery. Anyway I decided to test it according to Bentley. One of the tests describes checking for battery voltage at pin 86 with the ignition on. Does this mean check 86/1 and 86/2? Because I have battery voltage (~12.4) at one and ~8v at the other - can't remember now which pin had which voltage. Am I looking in the right direction? Would I have spark if the relay was dying/dead?
Thanks,

Mike
