just got my fc, wires are cut on what looks like a disty pickup
so i bought my Fc not running, upon trying to fix it i noticed that on a large piece of aluminum with a black cap on the right front of the rotor houseing as you would look at in the car. I think its a disty pickup but not sure, just wondering what it is and where can i get one to try and get my car running,
thanks
Dennis

Advertize in the For Sale Section on this forum. Pay not a sou more than twenty bucks......and that's HIGH. Any series four or series five will work. They're all the same thing.
It's hard to imagine what kind of halfwit would cut the wires at the cas. Unreal.

So the cas plug is there and the harness mating plug is there and you just need to splice the four wires back together and use shrink tubing to cover the repair area on each wire. Try to stagger your splices so they don't bunch up in one place.

It should just pull straight out once the single fastener is removed. Won't it rotate back and forth once the fastener is out? Wiggle back and forth while pulling straight out. NOTHING should be holding it in. It does have a single *0* ring around its base that MIGHT be making it difficult to pull out. I've never ever had that problem.

Light taps with a hammer will loosen it up enough to work it out by hand.

The ENGINE fuse in the interior fuse box has to be good for the pump to work.
Battery dies just sitting there with no key to ON. Charge it up and at the end of the day disconnect the large feed wire off the alternator for the rest of the night. Check the battery the next morning. Maybe the alt is bad and is discharging that battery. Actually, maybe just pull the small plug off the back of the alternator instead of the large feed wire. IF it's discharging thru the alt it would be thru the two small wires. Or it might be something else altogether.
If you have a good ENGINE fuse and the fuel pump check connector is jumpered (yellow, two socket connector near the right strut tower), then leave the jumper in with the key to ON and see if you have voltage at the BLUE wire at the fuel pump connector (under the rug behind the left rear strut tower).

did this car have a haltech in it before you bought it?????
Just trying to figure out why the CAS was cut like that.....
If someone had a standalone in the car and then threw the stock stuff back into it to sell it... you might have all sorts of wiring problems...
Check the wiring at the fuel pump in the back of the car to see if its been slipced into or cut as welll.

That act puts a GROUND on the Circuit Opening Relay just above the steering wheel. THAT relay pulls in and makes a circuit to the fuel pumps BLUE wire on the pumps CONNECTOR behind the left rear strut tower(under the rug).
