    I have a 1992 512TR and started it up to take it for a spin. The car was stumbling on start up and could smell fuel. It looks like maybe only one bank of the engine is firing and other side maybe not or just a few cylinders. The exhaust on the driver side is warm/hot and the passenger side is colder. I haven't pull the spark plugs out to see what they look like. Any idea what I should look for or where to start? I have the Dave Helms fuse board so not sure if there is something connected with that. I doubt it.

    Do the 512s have the protection relay for the ECU on the right side of the engine compartment. The fuse on mine kept blowing and causing the engine to run poorly.

    I don’t recall relay for the ECU’s
    You must have a short somewhere in the harness that’s blowing the fuse
    Remember it goes through the fire wall and that’s where I would be looking
    Hope this helps

    My car is running great now, but I had issues when the fuse blew on the overvoltage protection relay, right side of the engine compartment, under the fender in a metal box.
