Me and my girl
How old can she be before I buy her a wrench set?

Nice, my kids were much better 'helpers' before the age of 8 or so. Now as teens, they just want to hang out with friends not the old man. Enjoy her now while you and mom are still her whole world

So with the baby coming my garage was taken over by all the junk moving out of the house. Today I actually got to spend some time sorting through crap and putting it back together. I also took a min to start up the Shadow. It started just fine and idled smoothly. Tach didnt budge an inch.

[SactoShadow]

So I just played around with the car. Would start and then instantly die. Followed by a relay clicking morse code at me. I coukd hear the fuel pump surging off and on while this was happening. Thought it was the relay I just replaced but when discovered it was the one beside it. Trying to figure out what it is through the wiring diagrams. Any help would be appreciated.

[SactoShadow]

Looks like white, blue and pink, blue and black and green. One of the two white wires goes to the relay I just replaced and the other white wire goes to power

[SactoShadow]

Aha WOT cutout relay

[cordes]

Yeah, and that blue wire should be your J2 feed from the ignition switch. If you're having trouble with all of your relays etc. as you describe I would check it out thoroughly. That bad lad runs all under the hood from the ign switch. If you have a problem with that wire you have a problem with about everything.

[SactoShadow]

So looks lik I'll be tracing the j2 wire and inspecting it for issues

[cordes]

Gods speed. There are a ton of splices in that wire under the hood. I think it goes to all of the relays, the scanner connection, the alternator, and maybe some of the solenoids. Good times.
