  1. The wire I cut was right next to a male-female coupler. So I removed the coupler and connected the wires. Since the oil indicator light is just an LED it shouldn't matter if the LED is connected or not.
  2. 86 GL Wagon 1.8L, TBI, non-Turbo, AT, FWD. So here's what happened... Did some weekend maintenance which included the change of all engine fluids (oil, antifreeze, differential, ATF) and installed of a set of driving lights. While mounting the switch for the driving lights my drill bit caught a wire and snapped it. So I took the dash apart and put the wires back together. In the process another wire popped loose from the LED warning light panel on the left side. Specifically the check/low oil light. Now it won't start. The engine turns over and all my dash lights, except the oil one, work. Since I have a trusty Hayes repair manual I started checking what error codes I was getting from the ECM O2 light. They are as follows according to the manual. 1 long 5 short - Pressure Switch 1 long 1 short - Ignition So I checked and I have spark and the manual states that the pressure switch is for turbo models only. The thing I find odd is when checking the trouble codes on the ECM the electric fuel pump kicks on like normal but then I hear a click from what sounds like a relay under the hood, to which the fuel pump clicks off and then back on again. It keeps doing this on/off cycle until I turn the key off. My assumption is that there is something electrical that I must be missing or messed up that is not allowing the engine to start. Any ideas or suggestions for further troubleshooting? Thanks in advance!
