Thanks, Ron! Would Reynolds Heavy Duty Foil, cut into strips to facilitate wrapping and sprayed on the backside with adhesive suffice? I was worried that the braided wire wrapped around the spout and two other wires in the little plastic harness didn't connect to anything and stopped about 6"...

Could someone tell me what type of shielding tape I need to re-wrap the spout/PIP wiring from ICM to ECM? Some of the tapes I've seen online are rather expensive so I want to be certain I'm buying the right type. Also, there is a small braided cable that wraps around the 3 wires in the harness...

I tried to start truck with with the fuel pump jumpered to negative battery terminal. It has always been quick to fire up. With the fuel pumps running it never attempted to start. I got this through Advance Auto and it came with a return label so it'll go back tomorrow. Is there somewhere I can...

With the "new" ECM hooked up and jumper wire from fuel pump slot to negative battery terminal the relay closes and fuel pumps come on. With test light from fuel pump slot to positive terminal, I get nothing. No relay closing and no fuel pumps. I assume my "new" computer isn't functioning...

Is there any reason I can't use rubber F.I. hose and hose clamps in place of the nylon/plastic stuff on my 86 Ranger. I'm getting fed up with its brittle nylon line and plastic ends that can be anything but "quick dis-connect!" Thanks!
