Dumb, dumb, dumb!!! Crow is a miserable thing to eat, even with good beer to wash it down.

I did something a bit stupid. I simply didn't notice the terminal marked only 87, I only saw 87K and 87V, so those were the ones that I jumped from 30 to get the car to start.

When I got the new relay, the car still didn't start, so I went back and checked it with a magnifier. The car actually will start when I jump terminals 30 to 87V, but not 30 to 87. It runs, although it won't idle without stalling. I can't find what 87V goes to in my CD Rom schematic.

Since it starts, the ignition and the fuel pumps, filters, etc. must be o.k.

Any constructive suggestions would be very warmly appreciated.
