Hi all i own two mk 4 efi's one is a G reg 1989 and one is a J reg 1991 the problem i have is is that the relay colours are different so which one is the fuel relay on the J reg ????

 

Left to right - all holders visible and match relays

 

G reg Yellow - Purple - Green - Red - Blue

 

J reg Green - Yellow - Blue - Red - Grey as for the grey relay holder i cant see it as my torch i dead

 

 

Any ideas???

 

im trying to refit or get the efi fuel pump to work as someone has bodged on a cavalier external fuel pump as they said the internal one packed in :sad:

Sussed it the Grey relay (it was on a purple holder) was melted so i swapped it for a identical one ( Grey with red F 68125 88AG 14512 AA) and the pump is making the priming noise woop woop! :smile: prob is the relay must be the wrong one or it wouldnt have melted any ideas if its ok to use or not ???

Finally got to the bottom of it all :smile: the grey relay in the purple holder was knackered so when i took that out the fuel pump (When ignition was on) actually made the priming noise.

but still i was getting no fuel so i tried bridging the 30 and 87 terminals on the yellow relay/holder (which i thought was the injection relay??) and hey presto i now have petrol coming from the original in tank fuel pump, just gonna fit battery now and then hopefully it will start :smile:
