Re: Intermittent hesitation - like there's no gas for a second! 200 1986

1. The hose for the cruise control was jsut asked about on the RWD board. Look down past the throttle body to the ear of the engine block. there is a vacuum hose there. Maybe that is what IAS means.

2. On the fuses, about all you can do there is make sure the fuses are good and maybe clean up the copper contacts with a nylon scrub pad. Switch to glass tube fuses, like BUSS.

3. Idle is to be about 700 cold or hot. About 950 with AC. suspect your Idle Control Valve dirty of faulty. Dirty can be removed and cleaned. Faulty, no, need to replace. Probably not your problem, though.

4. The fuel pump relay is located on the inside of the firewall on the passenger side, just about where the rider's right foot would point. Just inboard of the ECU. White plastic box. Solid state connections can weaken and crack. Can be resoldered. New is about $40-50
