so i went to the nearest wrecking yard and looked on a 86 fwd wagon and it had 4 out of the 5 wires i mentioned in my first post i found the following according to the one in the wrecking yard.

 

Black w/ white stripe - hooks to the starter

bluew/ red stripe (?)

Green w/white stripe Some White circular connector maybe test

green Some White circular connector maybe test

black Hooked to some wire by the tranny dipstick.

 

the blue with the red stripe is the one that seems to be the one in question, i went to the dealership and got a copy of the wiring diagram but no color coded wires. i hooked the black w/ white stripe and did get the starter to crank via the key, both the timing belts and rotor spin freely it seems, where is the fuel pump located on the carbed ea82? is there some wires that signal to the pump? is there a wire that hooks somehow to the coil for start up?

anyone at all?

I have an 86 4wd.. so I can help a lil bit. the round connectors ARE NOT test connectors. EA cars use rectangle connectors for the test connectors and they are located next to the wiper motor on close to the drivers side strut tower.

 

Fuel pump on all EA82 cars are located infront of the passenger rear tire underneath the car.

 

Fuel pump is ran from a reference pulse from the coil

 

Keep in mind EA82 carb coil wires are backwards. Black is positive yellow is negative.

 

Haynes manual has decent wiring diagrams in the electrical section well worth 20 bucks

In the group of wires that has the smaller black and white wire that engages the starter via the key, there is 4 other wires in that same bundle,

 

There are 2 green wires ( one of which has a white stripe) a solid black wire, and a blue wire with a red stripe, it you could follow those wires and maybe tell me where they each hook to that would be great. i have the wiring diagram but its pretty useless if i dont know what each wire does.

well since mines 4wd the colors/connectors are most likely different

 

You have Reverse light sensor, and I cant remember what the other sensor does. I'll try to stop by where I used to work and check out a harness on a fwd for u

 

 

Either way those wires wont have anything to do with driveability. Only thing on that harness that controls the car running is going to starter engergize wire which is the black one

Mines dr4wd so they may be the same, after last night i really need a good description of the wires that all hook to the coil and where the go to and come from. we checked for spark and we get it at the coil only when we hook a wire directly from the battery to the coil. no spark when we go from the key. also there was no fuel pump. there are a few wires that are cut there also so im wondering if thats an issue also.

well the fuel pump wires run down through the back seat and there is only 2 of them. I'd go get u colors of the wires but my car is covered in wires
