I have a couple of CIS specific questions and was wondering if anyone on the list might be able to help?

Cap'n I didn't get your message til after I left my computer for the weekend - thanks for the offer to call you on this matter. Here's my latest finding on my non-starting 2.7L CIS motor : Well, I think I may have found a possible cause but I'm not sure. The electrical connector to the Air Meter under the air filter box. That connector was broken so I had to replace it. OK, it has two wires to it...one solid brown and the other brown w/black (remember this one?). That's the wire that is loose at my relay board. Well, I figured it needed switched power so I plugged it into term I for the stock /4 D-jet ecu, since it is switched power. Upon trying to start the engine, that wire started to smoke and actually melted it's sheathing.

Brown is GROUND. NEVER POWER IT UP! That's a grounding circuit for the fuel pump relay!!!! If you leave it unplugged, the fuel pump should run with the key on. If it's plugged in, the FP runs only when air is passing through the sensor housing. Safety feature. You REALLY need to look at the wiring diagram. REALLY. I fear you'll burn the sucker to the ground before you ever get it started. The Cap'n
