My wife has a 1983 245 wagon. It's on its last legs, but it's a great car for her to haul her concert pedal harp around in, so if I can limp it along a bit more, for not too muh money, I will. If not, I'll be looking to see if anybody wants it for parts, before I scrap it. The engine is in pretty decent shape, I think. Din't use oil last I knew, though it leaked some.
Here's the scenario:
The wiring in it is pretty much shot, I think. I recently took some electrical tape off a bundle of wires up on the firewall, and all the insulation just powdered out. So I've got like 5 bare wires sitting there, touching each other. I haven't yet figured out what they do. See pictures.
When I cranked the engine over, the relay for the fuel injection started clicking constantly. I messed around with those bare wires, and it quit, but I suppose that could just be a coincidence. I checked the main 25 amp fuse up by the battery, and tested the aforementioned relay, which seems to be ok. I also replaced it with a different relay, and that one clicked, too, so I think we can X a bad relay off the list.
Not sure where to go from here. Thoughts/suggestions?
