Ok, on my 1987 2.1, all wbx probably similar. Total use by fuel injection and ignition at idle = 6.5 amps Measured 3 places and added them. Measured at relay sockets and in firewall wiring box. Fuel pump = 2.3 amps Coil and relay triggers = 2.2 amps (varying) ECU and idle circuit = 2 amps Mark Rocket J Squirrel wrote: > Well that's a right kind offer and I bet the 1.9 and the 2.1 are close > enough for my purposes.
