I have tried 3 different IMRC's and none work. There must be something else wrong with it. Please help me out I am running out of ideas. Thanks

I relocated it to behind the battery tray and that seemed to help a little in reliablity. I also think that when I tightened the pins on the connector that helped too. Let me/us know if you find a fix! I have a question(for everyone): was the 1995 IMRCs reliable with the vacume secondaries? Brian W. -------------------- Black 1998 SE 5 speed - TOTALLED

Test for a ground at the Ground distribution wire (Black/White wire) (check resistance from here to a known ground) (should be VERY little[1-10 OHMS] to NO resistance.. ) Test for an "open" signal(when above opening RPM's) at either the black/blue wire, or the brown/white (not sure, off hand, which it is.)

Is this a coincidence or maybe something blew? What color is the k163 relay anyways? I looked in my bjb and it just confuses the hell outta me. I aprecciate all your help. Thanks again Eric

They are very reliable as long as you don't have a vacuum leak. The only problem that I had with mine (I have two 95 Contours) is the vacuum dashpot on one cracked and had to be replaced....
