The OVP only operates when there is an alternator problem. It's sole function is to protect valuable and expensive electronics, such as the ABS computer, from higher than normal voltages. It does this by blowing the fuse when the voltage rises to an unsafe level, the zener diode inside conducts and the fuse blows. Bad solder joints inside this device need to be resoldered.

When having starting problems, check the basics first, plugs, wires, cap rotot, all that usual pesky stuff.

Resolder the fuel pump relay too, which causes problems after driving for a while. Vibration causes the solder joints to crack, eventually causing no current to flow to the fuel pump.

For resoldering the larger relay pins, I use my Weller 100/150 watt soldering gun. The smaller joints need the 25 watt pencil soldering iron.
