'87 Formula 305 4 barrel engine. Choke is inop, choke idiot light stays on. Choke thermostat is OK. Have large voltage drop at thermostat electrical connection.(10 volt drop) Only have a print for a '84 bird and it shows a choke heater relay. No relay found on the '87, but did find transistor and heat sink assy. Did GM replace relay with transistor? If anyone has a '87 service manual and a scanner I would be very grateful to recieve a wiring print.

Update:
Problem has been fixed. After several hours of troubleshooting, without a wiring print. I finally discovered that the choke heater was wired through the electric fuel pump circuit. Now I wonder what the 20 amp fuse labeled "choke heater" does. ------------------ "Run wild with an Indian, not with the crowd in a Chevy" "Have you driven your Pontiac over the Taliban lately?"

Let me guess. No one on these boards could care less about '82 and newer Pontiac's. Now remember, this is just a guess. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

I certainly couldnt care less but I found your problem and discoveries mildly entertaining. So what happens when the choke heater fuse gets pulled? The lights go out? (8* )
