FridgeFreezer Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 - What year - What engine - Carbs or EFI - If it's EFI is it Flapper or Hotwire (the search button will explain the difference) - What "cold start wire"? What colour(s) is it and where does it go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 The blue/white wire is the tach signal to the ECU, the fact it runs at all suggests it's connected right. It should be on the coil -ve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HFH Does that year of 3.9 have the over-run cut off relay as that may be the box the OP is referring too? Sounds to me like a gummed up stepper idle valve.
