After some testing, I've narrowed (at least I think I did..) my hard start/fuse blowing problem down to the cold start switch (for the 9th injector) being toast.
After going to the corperate part stores to humor myself, I cannot find nyone that carries this part. Is this a dealer only part ? I would think someone carries this switch somewhere.. I'm just not having luck finding it (local or online). A part # or anything would be much appreciated.
As an add on question.. did the 2.8's have the same switch ? If so, as a cheaper swap/see if that's really the problem, I'd get one from the junkyard just for testing purposes.
Thanks for at least reading

 

I have a cold start switch that I just removed from my 1987 5.7 TPI to convert to speed density and the LT1 intake. If you want it, I'll send it to you for $10 shipped. I'm out of town right now, but I'll be able to get the sensor on Tuesday. So I could send it out right after Christmas. If you're interested, email me at mike@s10wildside.com
