I found that the previous owner had cut the wire to the boom solenoids and put in a relay that powered them when the ignition was turned on. That explains the foa fault. I also replaced the start interlock relay as it wasn't operating due to corrosion internally. I've hit a bit of a brick wall now though. Now with the switch in run mode it will crank over and start but stops as soon as you release the key. Tracing the wiring diagram it shows that the fuel cutoff solenoid gets power from the start interlock relay but that is only while it is cranking over. I assume once it starts the cutoff solenoid is powered from pin 5 on the eic? For some reason pin 5 isn't powering the solenoid hence it shuts off straight away. Can't figure out why. Still runs ok in service mode. Also, the seat belt switch is a bit intermittent. You have to insert the seat belt a few times to get it to work. Tried blowing it out and spraying with some contact cleaner but no change. Is it possible to get that apart to get to the switch without destroying it?</p></blockquote><p></p>
