    Help.

    Does this Gustafson 308GTSi starter use the factory bolts...?
    Or, are the tapped holes English..?

    Starter is up in the car.
    And,
    No, I don't want to take it out.

    Update,

    Got great oil pressure.
    If I jump fuel pump, it works, with good pressure. ( cold and warm pressures to be checked.)
    Got 12v to coils, yellow wire.
    But, no volts to the Tan Fuel pump wires on Conn. "W"
    Replacing the Relays in the WUR, FP and AAV circuits,, they might be old and weak.
    And,
    Going to bypass the Fuse Box, Burned Tan wire Conn. ( connector 7) on "W,"
    with an external Relay. But, relay power needs to come from the Ignition key, yellow wire 12v out.
    And, fuel pump power from the battery with an inline fuse holder.

    A Ha,, my sensor wires are Wrong.
    Color coded Connectors don't match.!????
    But, the color of the wires in the harness shows a different story.
    Easy fix, got 73 kOhms on the sensors now, measured at the Digiplex Connectors.

    Whew.

    Rear window installed with new seal,, and, the vertical crack was repaired,, $200.00 tip.
    And,
    WUR,, warm up regulator, Out.

    They go BAD over time.
    (Mine is 34 years old.)
    Ordered new WUR from the Deloran guy.
    And, My fuel pressure was out of control.
    But, started the car.
    Hoo Raa.!!!!

    Just manually controlled the fuel pump power.
    Then rerouted the fuel pump power, and back fed the AAV and the WUR.

    Ed,

    Get hold of Ferrari400. He sells repair kits for the WURs.

    You can DIY.

    Not much to them really.
