I have a '73, 2.0, stock DJet engine that sometimes dies when I am driving. It usually happens about 15 minutes into my morning commute. It cuts out with no warning and I can tell that the fuel pump does not run when I try to restart. The heater motor also stops at this time. I am able to get it running by reseating some of the relays on the circuit board - I am not sure which one does it because I am on the side of the road with traffic going by.
Since it seems to run after I mess with the relays, I would like to clean the contacts on the relays and the contacts on the relay board. How do I get inside the female connectors to clean them? Is there a special tool or trick to doing this? The male connectors on the relays themselves should be pretty straightforward.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
