like this?

MikeH686 · Apr 19, 2016

Yeah I'm fine with that there

srtthis · Apr 19, 2016

lemme see how much they are going to cost to make them. do you need hardware?

MikeH686 · Apr 19, 2016

I mean I can use the hardware or just go to ace and get some button head Allen bolts or something I can make either work

@RacEoHolic330 ok I'm getting really close to trying to start the car for the first time ... Electrically I still have to wire the ford iac and hook up some loose wires in the harness. I did not receive the disc for the software to download onto the computer and I've called Holley with no call backs. Which version do I need? I see v2,3,and 4.

You'll want to see what firmware the ECU came with. Use the matching computer software. I say that just in case something happens if you try to upgrade the ecu firmware before starting the car. You may think there is a problem with your car, but it could be an upgrade issue. Mine is V2 and has a V2 sticker on the ECU. I haven't changed to V4 yet. If it ain't broke...

You can download the computer software from their site. No discs needed.

MikeH686 · Apr 22, 2016

Ok it's a v2 ... I'm gonna reach out to the guy I bought it from to see if he ever upgraded it in pretty sure he did not

Next question there is a red small 14 gauge wire from the harness and this is what the instructions say it does. Can you explain to me the part about the fuel pump I don't want to try to send 12vdc to the pump from two different sources? @RacEoHolic330

RacEoHolic330 · Apr 22, 2016

Did you mean to say green 14ga wire? That wire should be the signal wire to a standard 4 prong automotive relay to power the fuel pump. 10ga wire from the battery to the relay, 10ga wire from the relay to the pump, 14ga green wire from relay to ecu, and ground. Found this on Google. Standard way to wire the relay. Depending on the size of your pump, you'll want a 20-30a fuse off the battery.

MikeH686 · Apr 22, 2016

No no no no no... Look at the picture, where it says red wire : connect directly to battery as it powers fuel pump and injectors

Bullitt347 · Apr 24, 2016

I think that would be if you are having the ECU operate the fuel pump instead of operating it off of a different switched source. It still looks like it needs to be hooked up to power the fuel injectors though. It should not matter that you are using a independent power source for the fuel pump.

MikeH686 · Apr 24, 2016

That's what I was hoping for but I just needed to make sure

Chuckman · Apr 24, 2016

Looks like a typo to me that should say "ecu" instead of "fuel pump" (with the exception of a low-amp fuel pump that can be directly controlled by that green wire). If I'm reading that page right and it is what I think it is, that wire is the ecu main power feed.

MikeH686 · Apr 28, 2016

No the ecu has its own dedicated power harness but it's whatever I'm gonna hook that wire up also because it powers the injectors. Well all the wires are ran and terminated cleaned up for the most part might do more clean up down the road putting in more power braid or something but this is where I ended up mounting the ecu.
