[T3] Fuel cutoff relay!


My 87 CIS Golf quit on me over the weekend, shut it off and no restart but
it did fire a few times,  long story short it was the first time in my life
that I actually needed a tow... I could have had it going if Knew it like my
Square but I didnt know which was the Fuel pump relay.
    BUT... when I found it, and it was the problem (Bad solder... imagine
that!) I decided to learn how the system works as there was 'lectronics
inside!  Well... they fuel pump safety cutout is now entirely in this relay,
the ignition switch gives you power to start the pump but only if it see's
ignition pulses from the tach line... the only thing it doesnt seem to have
is the 1.5 second priming.
    SO... if you putting an electric fuel pump on a non-standard FI or carbs
for that matter and need that safety system its easy to do with a Golf CIS
(and probably others) fuel pump relay, but resolder it first :-)
