Continuing fuel distributor/pump trouble... 200 1985

i had my wife crank the car over while i moved the plate down and up. (i haven't figured out how to do it with out my wife yet!

I told you how to do it in your previous thread:

"...run the pumps (jumper fuses 7 and 4 -- Left side contacts best)".

You can also make up a long switched jumper, unplug the fuel relay, and jumper between relay harness terminals 30 (Red) and 87 (Yel/Red). That will let you control the pumps from under the hood.

BTW, Does the frequency valve buzz when engine is being cranked? I don't remember if the FV is normally closed or open, but it's worth checking. As a quick test of FV operation, you can force the Lambda system awake (Key OFF) by back-probing the lambda relay coil terminal 86 (Blue) with +12V from the battery.

This doesn't start the pumps, but the FV should buzz right away. Another way is with the fuel relay harness jumper (above). Jump 30 to 87b (Blue wire, same as the battery jumper suggestion.)
