Any one have or had one of these? I've got an '85, with a billion or so miles on it.(not sure how many actual miles are on it, because the odo has been broken for 11 years, but it had 116,000 miles when it quit!)

My question is this. I drove it to the local electronics store to pick a pc that was being serviced. It ran like a champ like always all the way there. But when I went to leave, it wouldn't start. I traced the problem to the fuel pump not being activated.

 NOW, according to the dealership authorized service manual I have, all electronic diagnostics for the engine management systems are performed by placing a spare fuse into a slot on the fuel pump relay for five seconds or so, then all you have to do is read the "blink codes" from the "check engine light" on the dash.

Sound easy enough, right? Well the fuel pump relay was replace some years back, with one that was SUPPOSED to be an oem replacement. But it doesn't have the "oem blink code spare fuse slot " on top of it!

So now what? Anybody have any ideas? I don't have a lot of cash, and parts for this machine are VERY costly and hard to come by (in the US anyway), but it's been too good a vehicle just to give up on.

Yup! But I guess the propper question I should have asked was, how can I find out what part to change?
