I didn't even home in on the "no start part"
On my dad's '86 t-bird, when the relay stuck, the pump ran continuously, even with the key off.
The pump was kinda loud anyway and could be heard after he exited the car.
To "kill it", he unhooked the battery
When I got there, I poured over the wire diagram of one of his two repair manuals. I located 2 relays that were fuel pump related. Luckily, I was on target with the one in the trunk.
We hook the battery back up and it started running.
I gave it a good "thump" and it shut off
He cycled it a few times and it stuck again. Another "thump" and it stopped.
Off to the parts store and installed a new one. All has been well ever since.
Glad you are better with the "cyber cars" than I am
If the cjs would ever break down.I'd be in hawg heaven staying over there answering them!
