My car is driving me crazy. It is an 85 Gt, but it was parked and attacked by mice, who ate the wiring and had their way with it, so I bought a 91 for a donor car and changed ALL of the wiring, including computer, multiport, and dash. After I got it all back together, It cranks, starts and then just dies. I can hear the fuel pump kick on and the relay working (the one under the drivers seat) but after it dies, the relay clicks and resets. I have changed the fuel pump, the fuel filter, and checked the ICM and ignition switch at the local Autozone. I checked the reset button in the trunk and it doesnt click so it must be fine. I have also checked the TPS, per Ghost dogs earlier post on setting it to .98v. It has spark and it seems like it is getting enough fuel because it does fire, it just dies after that. When i press the Schrader valve fuel spills out, but is it supposed to spray.? Does anyone know what the pressure should be? Also if I left the key on and released the pressure, should the fuel pump kick back on to build the pressure back up??? It doesnt.
After a visual inspection, I noticed that on the relay on the passenger fender, just under the MAF, the pink/blue wire had bare copper showing so I taped it up. Does anyone know what this relay is for? and would this be related to the problems I am having?? I just purchased a code checker and it keeps coming back with the code 85. In the book it says that this means canister purge circuit failure. Does anyone know what or where the cannister purge is and where the circuit goes. I assume that it is the small plastic box on the passenger side where the third fuel line from the tank is run. Is that right?? There are two wires going to this little gadget. How can I test these. I also have a loose wire where I hooked up the code checker, drivers side, by the brake booster. It is black/orange and I cant see ANYWHERE it would go. It does have power, but there are no broken wires or connectors there. Any input would be great, this stang is just begging to run...........
