1988 Cabrio won't start
 

I changed the steering rack and now the car won't start. I pulled the fuel pump relay and jumpered across the contact and it started. I applied 12VDC across the coil of the relay and checked the contact for fuel pump and there was continuity. Any suggestions :confused:

You need to get your motor scanned for any error codes logged in the ecu and post them.

88Cabriolet won't start
 

I could be mistaken but I don't believe they had ecu's back in that day.

I changed the relay today and that didn't help. I did notice that when I turned the ignition forward you can feel the relay energize then de-energize again. Checked the ground with a light and it is good. Anyone have any ideas?

It seems strange.

Have you knocked anything off?
