I had a friend who was out at the shop late and asked him to do a couple of things for me. The wipers and radio turn off intermittently while starting the car. Also getting him the make sure the fuel pump is properly working and If not wiring it straight to the battery
At the Circuit Opening Relay located under the dash and to the right of the steering column is Yellow and Black and has 5 wires. W/key to start the top left wire (Black/White should have close to battery voltage). When this occurs the Blue wire ( upper right position) that powers the fuel pump also has voltage. You could also disconnect the return hose, place in a jug, jumper the fuel check connector and w/key to on the fuel should pour into the jug.

Well considering how bad my tank was now my fuel pump is dead aswell. I'm going to make a fuel cell for the spare tire well. And see about using an inline pump. As for the electronics problem I guess I'll fix the pump and try and get it running beforehand.

Well now I've got the inline pump hooked up and still no start all because I had to bring the vacuum in right beside the wire harness -_- now I am stuck with a $5000 paperweight until the wiring is replaced because I really don't want to take the time to figure this out I'll just do it right. Will the turbo car harness work with an n/a dash or do I need to find a new dash aswell if I switch all of the wiring to turbo

Yeah that's what I'm figuring aswell I have an extra car worth of wiring that's sprawled out on the floor right now tracking through wires that could've crossed. I'm going to try and get a new n/a front harness hopefully brand new. But I'm not too sure where to start looking for that

just need a bit more info and i think ive got it. ive got the car started today with no dash in it. the horn is stuck going off still so i just unplugged it. i figured out that my car needed a new rad cap so i did that and as i was trying to flush the car i had the rpm probably around 2500-3000 my buddy who was sitting outside of the car adding collant urged me to shut off the car as the turbo was red hot, any ideas?

I didn't have any problems before the car wouldnt start and the horn started going off this is also a rebuilt engine with less than 10k on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated I don't know what to do anymore and the car is just sitting around the shop ripped apart I hate to see my 7 like that

Look at the largest plug at the CPU. Looking into the back of this plug, the plug has two rows. Focus on the top row and the three wires starting at the far left position. These wires should read from left to right (top row) Green/Red, Green/Orange, Green/White. Are these wires properly orientated in such a manner?
