i have an 88 notch with a mass air harness...i'm pretty much redoing the entire car. The problem i'm having is the solonoid is hott all the time with the battery hooked up. What did i put on the power side of the solonoid that should be a ground??? on the positive side is a brown wire from the harness, a red wire, a yellow wire, and a small box with a black and white striped wire....any help would be appreciated....also no power to fuel pump, which is what had me start testing the harness

No power at the EEC relay, either the fuse link is disconnected or blown.
The EEC relay is above the computer. You can measure the voltage at the
#1 pin on the computer too. Same wire as you see in the above diagram.
