I’m having issues with my FPR. I have gone through 4 in the last month! Every time I replace it the car starts and drives fine. 87 240... when I removed the casing the other day I could see where the contact had melted the plastic. When I was able to make the contact with a screw driver the car would start but as soon as I began to drive it would start dying and run rough then die.
What could cause the relay to burn out that fast?? I replaced the ignition coil, both in tank and external fuel pumps.... I’m going insane with this. Could there be a faulty wire shorting it out and where do I even start to search?
Thanks!
