The engine compartment circuit in the '87s is fed by a 2.5 wire from alternator B+ to a distribution terminal in the terminal box on the firewall, Bentley 97.104 track 5. From there it goes as a 1.5 to the 30 terminals of the ECU and fuel pump relays, 97.106 track 31-2. ECU relay 87 feeds all the injector hots plus the fuel pump relay 86 terminal, plus the idle stabilizer and power-steering switch. A short to ground anywhere along this path will smoke the harness between the short and the distribution box.
