Dear Listmembers,


<P>The symptom was that the fuel pump function became intermittent and
then stopped working at all.&nbsp; This was after I soldered a 25 lead
ribbon wire onto the ECU for the use of one of Darrell Boehler's digitools.&nbsp;
Luckily the digitool told me that this was the problem by the FP light
not coming on.&nbsp; It also allowed me to jump some pins on the tool and
make the pump come on.


<P>I replaced the electrical half of the ignition switch on the advice
of some listmembers.&nbsp; This was fairly easy, cheap and fun.&nbsp; Still,
there was no FP. I did notice that the headlight wire insulation was a
little melted there near the ignition switch.


<P>Darrell loaned me another ECU and <I>voila.&nbsp; </I>The ECU is the
problem.


<P>Next weekend I'll figure out from where the coolant is leaking.&nbsp;
Looks like the plastic "distributor" on the right side of the engine may
have suffered a crack during my tweaking of the hoses.


<P>Thanks and regards,
<BR>--
<BR>David if it ain't broke, fix it 'till it is Bogle
