    Switching from Volvo TBI to Carb on a 1996 5.7 GI

    When cranking you should get 12V on pin 85 of the relay when cranking. If it's not there check to see if your getting 12V on the Yellow/Red wire on the key switch when cranking If 12V when cranking on key switch and not on pin 85, then it's probably the diode. Check for 21V on both sides of...
