there is a black connector close to the firewall on drivers side after main relay I have no clue what it is, its a 6 plug connector with 5 wires to it, ones black/green stripe that's a thicker wire... I can try to get a picture of it tomorrow but it's not the ground, not main relay, the only plug like that by the firewall.... any help is appreciated, I almost wanna say its a relay because fuel pumps not kickin on and the cars not turning over, but I can jump the both and it runs fine

 

Position and b/g wire suggest starter cut relay and tbe fact that if jumpers the car starts and runs Your car has the factory anti-theft unit?

 

yes, it has factory ant-theft

 

Have you recently bought the car and trying to get it up and running? Either way my moneys on the the starter cut relay being gone for some reason.

 

if anyone has a picture of this I'd be very grateful... I have a pile of relays and I tried a few tonight none of them worked.

 

I'm putting it together it's project car that's been put off I had pictures of everything but my computer with them on there crashed so I've been doin it all by memory.

 

That relay would look like the Main Relay except the Main Relay has two plugs while the Starter Cut Relay has but one plug that houses the four wires. Jumpering the thicker B/G wire to the B/W wire bypasses the relay which is a good thing especially if you don't have the relay.

 

I will try this in the morning... i have to have the relay somewhere, i just dont know where it went...... i found another thread about this subject too, amazing what the search feature can do once i know what the heck went there...

thanks for the help!

 

Funny,I keep hearing about this relay and I didn't have one on my 86.
I got this 88 base just in,and I finally see what all the 'Hub-Bub" is about.I was cleaning the engine bay up and spied it..sort of went : "what is that??..oh ya!"..lol!
