Pin 85 is switched 12v but not off the coil pin 15. Pin 86 goes to the computer. Pin 86 gets pulled low to turn the relay on but goes high (> 6volts) after the pump has primed to shut it off. This only happens when you switch the ignition on, not while the engine is running. When the engine is running, pin 86 is low. I think with my hot start problem, the computer is not pulling pin 86 of the fuel pump relay down low. Does anybody have a schematic for a '91 jetta ecu? or is this a ridiculous question? Grant |
