I am installing the new Jwwest fuse box and
I have a 3" section of wire off the #5 back row fuse that has melted insulation(grey with black stripe) what is the best way to replace and splice in the new piece and what gauge wire is correct? |

Tape an extra spark plug to a ground, and plug in one of your plug wires. Look at the plug while someone cranks the starter; you should be able to see sparks if the ignition is working.
Your comment about the pump priming makes me think you have D-jet. Is that correct? In that case, the pump priming means that the FI ECU and pump are both getting power, which pretty much eliminates them from consideration. Do you know you're getting fuel? Can you smell it at the tailpipe after cranking for a while? Have you tried putting the injectors in jars and looking for fuel to come out? Do you know you're getting spark? How about compression? --DD |

How about compression? --DD Dave - yes its d-jet. and yes after cranking a bit you do smell the gas. - but after i check the electrical side if it all checks out i will pull and test each injector- they were brand new NOS stock i got from Otto's Venice last year. only have aboiut 2k miles on it since installing it. - i dont use ethanol gas hardly ever and always put stabi in every tank. (pressure is good) . - Could it be the circuit board that is in the engine compartment? I have a new one i was going to put in just because the old one is original to car, but my f.i. harness was new from Bowlsby as was the other harness back there, replaced maybe 2 years ago now.( voltage regulator is fairly new and prior to replacing the board i verified the system was charging good 13.8v. -- |
