Sorry. I don't see that info at index to 1987 diagrams. P. 20.29 shows, for
testing purposes, how to bypass the FP relay so pump will run even if
engine is off. That page and 24.48 show which relay is for fuel pump. Oddly
enough, i don't readily see a page showing location of the ECU/FP relay box
but owners manual might. Anyhow.....
