From what you describe, it is shorting out to terminal 88d or possibly 88c. <<Note that there is some somewhat flakey wiring on the fuel pump side of the double relay wiring harness. We will take that down next time and inspect for short circuits, etc. That's a distinct possibility. Other options include a possibly bad ECU. We have both an AFM and ECU to swap in and test with.>> You will find it to be a short, or the contacts in the relay are sticking, and need cleaning. Just remember, on Bosch AFC Injection it is RARELY the ECU. << The thing I'm most curious about is why we have power in the system even with the key off and removed. >> Let me know if I am wrong. gmbulley cary, nc |
