Fuel infection woes

[ranahan@charter.net (John Erickson)]

Ignition Control Module.  Among other things, the "on" 
signal for the fuel pump relay starts there and runs 
through the knock box before it finally gets to the relay. 
 

One of mine was heat sensitive.  The car ran fine cold, 
but as soon as the ICM got warm, it started cutting out. 
 it finally just shut off.

I had another one fail right out of the box (it was new). 
 The tach was bouncing all over the place and the fuel 
pump relay was clicking faster than a blinker relay.  The 
relay was eventually off more than on and the car ran out 
of fuel.

HTH (at least its another option).
