    Re: 86 New Yorker Turbo Fuel Tank Removal

    Thanks. I got the car up on ramps and think I can change the pump if I drop the rearward side of the tank just a couple of inches.

    Re: 87 New Yorker Under Hood Relays

    Re: 87 New Yorker Under Hood Relays

    It could be the ac cutout relay. Some one before me removed the ac and it looks like they just cut the wires going to the compressor. Am I correct in thinking that the relay also increases the idle...

    Re: ASD Question

    It's become intermittent as well. Left me sitting on the side of the road again and when I ran a jumper wire from the battery+ to the coil+, the pump would not run.

    Re: ASD Question

    I don't believe it's a fuel issue at this point. I can hear the fuel pump prime and stop when it builds pressure. Every time it shuts down, there is no spark. I've checked it multiple times.

    Thanks, I will try that. I do have a new pump, but the weather has been uncooperative, so I haven't been able to swap it.
