Electrical help / Starting problem - I'm stuck

["James LaLonde" <deloreandmcxii@xxxx>]

I've been looking over the electical diagram today, to no avail.

John Hervey - seems like this one is right up your alley.

When my key is the ON position my fuel pump does not charge-up. 
Therefor when I turn it to START it THEN primes-up and takes a 
little longer to start the engine. I've done some looking. And the 
RPM Relay doesn't close in the ON position. BUT once the engine is 
started the RPM relay stays closed, and the car runs just fine.

Looking at the electrical diagram tells me that if in the ON 
position, the wiper blades should work too.... they DO! so the 
ignition switch is fine... as is the main relay. It's only the RPM 
relay that seems not to work in that position. I haven't check the 
other companants on the first fuse... I just now thought of that... 
but it seem like there is very little to fail between the fuse the 
RPM relay... especially considering the RPM relay (and everything 
else for that matter) works fine AFTER the key snaps back into the 
ON Position from START.

Confusing enough for ya? Any help?? Anyone?


BTW, I finally caught that episode of Monster Garage... Nice job 
guys!! Did WAY better than I ever could have done... But Eric took 
the fun ride... That jump looked like great fun!!
Also... that One wheeled vehicle on the same show... that was cool. 

Thanks for any help anyone can provide,
