Hi everyone, i just purchased my first ever 1986 Ford Ranger. Has a FI 2.3L 4 banger with a 5spd manual trans.
Took 2 days to figure out the PO's wiring mess but i have now got it to crank and start on carb cleaner.
My main question is, the fuel pump relay connector is showing +12 volts on 3 wires (2 relay operation terminals and 1 of the pump out wires) the other is a ground.
How on earth is that supposed to make the relay work if both terminals that are supposed to activate the relay are +12v?
I'm pretty sure the injectors are clogged solid, if i jump the relay out the pump on the frame rail runs (cant hear the in tank one if it even has one anymore) but it wont start.
Thanks in advance,
Gordon
