My '85 and '86 both have the wiring issue. My 'theory' is heat kills the insulation. It drys out, gets real brittle, and breaks the wires as it flexes.
Area to check:
hall sensor connection (try starting the car with out this!)
harness near IC/radiator
harness near throttle body
temp sensor near t-stat
(trend is hot areas)
The beauty is that you got to dig to see the wires that have broken. Gotta love the genius who thought it would be a cool idea to switch wire vendors.
Volvo's of a certain year had the same wires.
