I had a feeling that symptom of losing power might have been remembered. Yes, if the pumps are working, vapor lock is not a thing in our injected cars.
The rest of the connections, those not carrying all the current to run the injectors, AMM, idle valve and computer looked in great shape. I just bypassed the two red wires by cutting them and stuffing them into butt splices. Kinda feels lousy doing that sort of thing to a harness, but the odds I'd ever need to replace either of those harnesses in entirety are not worth consideration.
You know, I've found fuse 4 with corrosion. It may be obvious that would do the same as a failed tank pump, but worth mentioning, as I don't recall touching on that here. At least give it a copper fuse.
