I really appreciate you guys taking the time to respond.
I am new to the Z cars, and this one I got is not on the best of shape. But I have high hopes that I will bring it back to life.
Wheee - As far as the AFM goes, is there anything I can check if it is active or not?
Siteunseen - this is going to sound like a stupid question, but I am not sure which one is the fusible ling for the fuel pump is there a diagram which shows that.
And lastly thanks Steve J for insight on how to bypass the fuel pump relay. I will try that and it hopefully will help me to narrow the problem down.
thanks for the responses, and sorry if I am asking rookie questions.
