Re: [tech] wiring problems/questions

[Jeff Faulkner <jeffaulk@richmond.infi.net>]

I just got my 82 8V back from the mechanic after a mysterious stall/no start.  After reading previous posts, I figured ICM or something electrical.  the mechanic said fuel delivery system (relay, fuel pump or something else?) Anyway, it runs fine now after he messed with the wiring.  I'm not sure he actually found a problem.  Didn't charge me a whole lot, which was good.  Anyway, he claims the wiring harness needs replacing.  Anybody out there want to comment on this scenario?  by the way, this problem, stalling after running for about 5 min. and coming to a stop in a busy intersection, happened about 3 months ago and then went away.  TIA

So I figured they might mean the auxiliary air regulator. This makes the most sense for the blown wire under the dash is Red/white and the wires at the aux. air reg. are brown and Red/white. But somewhere down the like wires have been respliced in that part of the engine area. So now out of the original two wires to the Aux air reg only the brown one is used and the old red/white is cut. the red/white from the switch now goes to the coil. No where does my wiring diagrams show a wire going to the coil.

Looking how confusing this all is and how bobo the current splices are makes me what to replace them all but that is a big job.
