different relay question help
Alright so i went out and i bought one mr22 which is the power relay and one mr5 which is the fuel pump relay. the mr5 is not like the mr22 its a different style cube and i dont know where it goes.... any help on that?
The other wierd part is that i traced down which relay was the fuel pump by removing the 3 relays and individually hooking them up till the fuel pump primed at the "on" so i was down to burn off and power relays.
Anyway point is my car used to run ok but would kind of sound like it was missing and would stall a lot at stoplights etc but now after messing with the relays it runs amazing with no missing but idles really high and i actually have to idle it down, why would it do that?
Lastly when i was messing with the relays i left the car running and unplugged one and both of the maf power and burnoff relays and the engine didnt act any different, does that mean my MAF is bad? sorry this is so long but it should make sense.

One last question which one of the two MAF relay connectors is a 4 prong connector?

Re: different relay question help
the burnoff is the 4-wire. And when you say the mr5 is a different style cube i think you got a newer style relay, all relays should look the same on your 87. If you got any more electrical questions try looking at the wiring diagrams on austinthirdgen.org.
