So, I got this 1988 GMC Sierra SLX a year and a half ago, the original engine's oil pump got clogged up with some kind of silver flakes, radiator exploded, dropped a new engine in it, in the process of getting it dialed in and timed, a buddy advanced the timing way too far after I switched the fuel pressure regulator and the throttle body shot up ten feet of flames, burnt the wiring harness pretty bad.
So I rewired everything, soldered new wire in place of the burnt ones, and it can almost start, but the fuel pump's not running.
I put a new fuel pump in it shortly before it went up in flames. There's that fuel relay on the firewall next to the distribution block with five wires. It's got five prongs, but it's only got four wires going to it.
"E", the gray wire, is missing. One buddy said the connector was broke a while ago and pried it out of the connector with a small screwdriver. I can't find it coming out of the ECM connectors, and I don't know what to do. I've got a few other wiring harnesses, but the gray wire is spliced into a spade with two wires going separate ways to plugs ins that are different on mine. Another buddy told me to run a jumper wire between the orange and red wires, but that didn't do anything. I need some help here. Anyone know how I can wire it so that it runs right, I'm all ears.
