>>All that is required is the distributor reference pulses (DRPs). The crank signal is not required, that just lets the ECM know when to test the fuel pump relay.

Good to know for certain; thanks Bruce! Do you know what the fuel pump relay test is? I suppose it tests for fuel pump relay power on pin B2 while cranking for diagnostics.


In response to your question, from my understanding B2 is reading the fuel pump voltage continuously while the engine is running. It uses this to calculate a correction to the injector pulse width to compensate for varying electrical system voltages as it affects the pump and the injector flows. I'm thinking the Cranking signal to C9 lets the ECM (EBL) know that it is cranking to initiate the Choke functions and adds even more injector pulse width to compensate for the even lower cranking voltages.

The WUD shows the fuel pump voltage as well as Bat voltage.
