SILVER Star
1985 FJ60 newly rebuilt engine, new vac lines, everything.
I have several interrelated problems (with the truck).
A. The truck has a parasitic electrical bleed somewhere that continues to drain down the battery. If I drive it every day or every other day, I'm fine and don't need to jump it.
B. The prior owner hacked the harness and I do not have the factory wire that powers up (and down) the fuel cut solenoid on the carburetor. As a fix to get the truck running, I powered it directly to the battery. I think this is the source of my power bleed.
C. Now the engine is dieseling after shut off too. The engine has less than 1000 miles, its not dieseling because of carbon build up. Vac lines are new, I really doubt I have a vac leak. Maybe the manifold bolts could be torqued, but wouldn't really cause dieseling. Idle is at 750.
My question: I need to tie into a power source/switch that turns on with the ignition, and off when the key shuts down. While I've been on the Forum for a long ass time, electrical issues are not my strong suit. I appreciate any help you can provide.
