A week ago my 86 conquest started hesitating off and on. I added some heet-no difference. Added some injector cleaner and it ran a lot better( almost back to 100%). No hesitation until yesterday, when it started doing it again and then Backfired! Barely ran after that and barely limped the last 4 blocks home. Now it will start right up and run for 15 seconds then dies. Fuel pressure is around 35 psi same as always. Could a injector be bad, causing it to flood? Any ideas?

The battery is a 560 cranking amp with 450 cold cranking amps and load tested fine. The fans are hooked up via an inline fuse and they come on when the key is in the on position. The battery tested: 13.08 not running,14.63 idle, 14.33 headlights on, 14.31 add radio, and 13.65 adding heater. Disconnected positive cable and ran test light between it and positive terminal, result test light lit up. Next took out each fuse one at a time and test light stayed on. Next disconnected radio and alternator, test light stayed on. Removed each relay (behind the cover next to the battery) one at a time, test light stayed on. Removed fusable links behind the cover, still the test light stayed on. Removed each fusable link on outside of that cover and BINGO!!! the fusable link closest to the battery shut off the light. Tried swapping it with the one next to it, but had the same result(light stays on untill I break that connection). Time for a bandaid, I mean toggle switch? What is the next plan of attack? Thanks for all the great input it is appreciated.

My 86 conquest will not start when the temp is around 30 degrees and the car has been sitting for more than an hour. I have replaced the battery cables, cleaned the fusible links, replaced the ground strap, installed an interstate battery, and used dielectric grease on everything. I tested the battery with a load tester and it tested fine. The alternator is charging fine. This happened last winter and I replaced the battery. Then I had to disconnect the battery at night to or else it would'nt start in the morning, so I replaced the battery to no avail. Now its worse than ever, could it be the alternator? If I can't figure it out, I am thinking of installing a battery disconnect switch( I know its only a bandaid).

I have an 86 conquest, what are my choices for an aftermarket FPR ? Also how do I plumb it into the stock throttle body?

Will it work in an 86 without modification and does it come with a vacum advance?

Thanks for all the great informaion!

Trying to run down a boost leak with the smoke machine on an 86 with stock turbo. And found a leak at the back of the compressor housing where the snapring holds it to the center section. So I tore apart an extra stock turbo(bad) to see how it seals. Found what looks like a piston ring for a seal with the gap facing up at 12 o'clock, exactly where mine was leaking smoke. Is there a fix or is time for another turbo?

Thanks for all the info.

I have an intercooled 86 conquest. Where do you find new cv boots or complete cv axles?

Looking for a hardpipe from the turbo to the intercooler, might be interested in the rest of the hardpipes if someone has them.

Thanks for the great help, my wipers are now working!

I have an 86 conquest whose wipers have lost the park position. They worked fine until 2 weeks ago when they started losing the park position. Now they always end up pointing straight up when you turn them off, but otherwise function fine. I tried another wiper motor and have the same results. I checked the fuse. Could it be it a relay or fusable link, if so where are they located and are they labled?
