Thanks for posting the instructions, Tony. I do aspire to be a "CIS troubleshooter" since my 911 is an 83 SC. But for now, just a newbie WRT the fuel/delivery system. I'm going to print this out and look under the frunk to see all the terminals you mentioned. that's my next step, then go from there.

PS >> hope that your May 1 ~ 2 engine rebuild course will also cover CIS..

Thanks!

87a
87
86
85
30

Best way to understand how these 5 terminals work is making a sketch for your notes.
87a-30...........NC (normally closed).
87-30.............NO (normally open).
86-85.............terminals of magnetic coil that switches from NO to NC and vise versa.

With the ignition switch @ ON position, power is supplied to terminals 87a and 86 (bridged at the socket side). Use a 12-volt test light to confirm it.

To run the FP, you need power at terminal #87a and #30. With the FP relay removed from the socket, you can use a jumper wire between #87a and #30. And turn the ignition switch to RUN position. With the jumper wire installed and ignition switch @ RUN, the fuel pump will be energized and run.
