I have got the big red Bentley book, with earlier '84ish and later '85/'86 diagrams.

I'll try and scan them tomorrow, if you'll pm me an email address. However, I think they're also around on the net.

As for fuel injection relay- it's driven by a signal from the ECU. An old friend in Glasgow had pump issues, which were actually down to bad connections to the relay at the relay position in the fuse box.

Laid up for long periods, some of my cars insist on randomly weird electrical issues- simply pulling relays and fuses an reinserting is a common fix. Similar issues used to plague many of the systems I used to support in my old career. It's amazing how many problems can be fixed by unplugging and reinstalling connections. Even good old Boeings play up after a few days laid up unpowered, and re-racking bits often sorts it.

And yes, the connections behind the right headlight are a good call.
