I've been having some troubles with my 91.
Starting from the beginning, a couple months back I drove it down the road 5 minutes, stopped it, tried to start a little while later Engine cranked, but no started. I popped the hood gave the EFI relay a love tap. Hopped on and it started.
Ordered a new EFI and replaced it.
A couple weeks later same thing happened. I noticed one of the wires was bent hard and starting to fail. It was one running off the positive battery terminal and into the grey clam shell (is this the fusable link?) I have her a jiggle sparks and wrenches went flying. A few words stern words later and a trip to the electric bin and the wire is swapped.
Engine starts, I'm happy.
Couple days later. Key in ignition. No crank. No start. No radio. I check fuses and a couple are blown... Weird, but it was hot out. I swap some fuses and they blow again. I noticed I had the AC and fan on. I turn those off, swap fuses again and we're backup and running.
We were food for a month or so until a couple weeks ago I drive to my neighbors short trip 5 mins or so. On the way back I noticed sluggish acceleration. If I accelerate too fast the motor stalls. I was able to limp back almost all the way home at around 20 mph. Right before my drive way she dies. After pumping the gas pedal just right, I am able to make it into my drive way.
I figured the problem was fuel?
I check the fuel, check my new wire, and check the EFI relay again.
I have CEL with key in. EFI relay is good.
I have fuel spraying out the cold start banjo bolt if I jump B+ and FP.
And my new wire seems fine, but I admitted haven't formally checked it seeing as I don't really know what it is for.
I'm a bit confused about the whole situation. I am pretty sure it is fuel related given the stop and go, stalling and inability to accelerate. I guess I could have fuel issues past the cold start banjo bolt? I suppose I could check for spark, but I am still stuck thinking it's fuel related.
Any tips on what to check next?
