Re: Still won't idle:SOLVED


well, finally solved my non-idling problem, and feel rather silly:
my problem was very simple:  at some point, i'd taken out the fuel pump relay
and rear window defroster relay to clean up the connections, and -doh- had
mixed up two fuel pump relay wires (on the rhs - a twin grey wire, and a blue
one, i think [not comparable to anything in Bentley]).  the reason i even
discovered this was that i'd noted the absence of the fuel pump whirr between
clicks, and had taken a relay from a junkyard '69 (not guaranteed to be right,
either, i know, but i got lucky) to replace it.
so, it probably wasn't overheating or any of the other rubbish i thought.
do you think i did any damage by having this mis-wired?
and my brakes are working now - 'twas a duff master cylinder, not center line,
so don't have that nightmare to face.
thanks for all your tips.

sonny
