cuttin in turns Reply #15 – June 30, 2008, 03:48:15 PM Well I can't say 100% for certain since you have offered up nil for any kind of diagnostics that you have done.The EEC relay is clicking because it is getting intermittent power for one reason or another. Either the ignition switch in the steering column (which are inexpensive) is going bad (which is very common), or there is something wrong with the main power wiring to the EEC. Since the relay is clicking, it is most likely the switched side of the relay that is intermittent (ie the side that energizes the relay and "clicks" the arm over to complete the power circuit from the battery. This power is controlled through the ignition switch circuits.The EEC relay also engergizes the FP relay (ie when the EEC getting power, the FP's are allowed to get power).Again, the most likley place to start is the ignition switch. After that it's a wiring issue. Quote Selected

cuttin in turns Reply #19 – June 30, 2008, 11:16:59 PM If the problem persists, you'll need to actually get in and do some wire checking/tracing to see what's going on.Hopefully this cleared up the problem though. Quote Selected
cuttin in turns Reply #21 – July 01, 2008, 11:34:27 PM I would describe chattering as an engine 'dieseling' while its stalling or shutting down, you guys know what i mean?I would describe a relay as 'Clicking' kinda like my keyboard and mouse. Quote Selected

cuttin in turns Reply #24 – July 03, 2008, 10:27:38 AM Well then it's time to start to do some actual work and get in and diagnose.You'll need to trace your power wiring for the EEC relay and check it's integrity. Check all of your power connections, fusible links, etc at the starter solenoid on the fender.There is obviously no "magical" solution to your problem that someone is going to be able to point you towards. Time to get in and figure it out yourself. Quote Selected
cuttin in turns Reply #25 – July 03, 2008, 10:51:05 AM yippie! lol here we go! thanks for the advice though..... but if my batter has the ability to move around would that effect this any?, my battery box/holder broke Quote Selected

You said only the engine was cutting out and not the electricals, so that lessens that as a possibility.Check it all. Quote Selected
cuttin in turns Reply #27 – July 05, 2008, 12:35:37 PM I had a similar problem (See Post start Hestiation) so I got serious this weekend on my 1984.Divided my troubleshooting into electrical a fuel.Figured I'd start from scratch with electricl.Pulled all the grounds and cleaned them with electrical contact cleaner. When I went to loosen the main engine ground nut, I found it was loose as well as the stud that is part of the engine mounts.Cleaned an re-torqued.Pulled all sensor connectors, and cleaned all contacts with electrical contract cleaner. The EGR sensor seemed especially dirty.Watch out when pulling the contact leads for the sensors under the Windshield Washer bottle. A bitch to get off. Having a helper to hold the assembly while you pull helps.Took me about 4 hours to check and clean all grounds and sensor connectors.Ran last evening, and ran great no hesitation or stalling. Jury's still out on whethe problem solved but my guess is the loss main engine ground most probably was my hesitation/stall problem. Quote Selected

cuttin in turns Reply #29 – July 08, 2008, 01:07:59 PM I'm done guessing for you.Did you actually look at the wires/connections? Have you done a "wiggle" test while the car is running and see if you have any loose connections? Quote Selected
