Alright... So I've been fighting this problem all week. My 86 Bko, 302 efi, aod has been just dieing when it feels like it and starting the same. I thought it was the inertia switch because of what it did last week. It died, I reset switch and still no start. I left and came back an hour or so later. Still no start. Jumpered inertia switch with paper clip and it fires right up. So, different switch put on.
3-4 days later it dies and leaves me stranded some 70 miles from home on hwy. No matter what I did, it wouldn't start. I towed it home. Still no start. 2 days later, I go to diagnose a no start condition and it fires right up 1st turn of key.
Today, It dies closer to home. Jump FP circuit according to Haynes and both pumps come on. It fires up as it should. According to haynes, it is either wiring from FP relay to EEC or EEC is bad.
Now, FP relay has corrosion in connector/wire side and wiring looks like shiat. Bko stays running when playing with wires.
Questions: (1) Am I headed in right direction. (2) Is a bad EEC common for causing intermitent problems that I've described. It sounds more like faulty wiring. (3) Where is EEC located, I think on driver kick panel. I don't have my Haynes here with me at work.
I drove it home today with FP circuit shorted according to Haynes. Was this a bad thing to do? I'll need to drive it to get parts. Will I do more damage than good?
Thanks for help.
