is the on eI need to cut and put a switch on that.... There are 3 WIRES that are yellow and green which one is it?

Thanks in advance



here are some more pics (different angles)

 

you need to test it with a dvm to find out which one is which

 

its the really thick one...

but seriously.. use a dvm to test...

 

1. is yellow with a blue stripe

2. is yellow with green stripe

3. is green with yellow stripe

so i say u go with two.
it was similar with my teg. at first i couldnt tell the difference bettwen what in your case is 1 and 2. but i figured 2 was truely a green stripe, where 1 is like aqua.

hope that helped

 

Thanks guys
Well right now its back in my seat so I am going to have to take a look again tomorrow in the day.
I am going to pin point 1 and 2 again easly.
So it should be the thicker one of the two?
Will strip and use a dvm.

 

THANK YOU GUYS.
INSTALLED
Switch Hidden
Tested
Works

note: It was the Thicker of the two Yellow w/ green stripe.

By the way, when the switch is off. The car Turns on, for like 5 seconds then dies. But I can go again and again and still 5 seconds...So the pump is still getting power.
My question is how BAD is it to forget to turn on the switch and turn the car on?

 

It's not getting power. That's residual pressure in your lines. Your car is never truly out of gas until all the fuel is allowed to evaporate out and that never happens.

You can hit that switch while driving and it's not bad for your engine. You can crank the motor with it switched and it's not bad for your engine. If you keep cranking it for 30 seconds, you'll burn up your starter, but your motor wont know the difference. The motor doesn't care if you have a starter (an electric motor) turning it w/out fuel, or if you're cranking the motor with a big ratchet w/out fuel. In fact, your motor is running all the time every day w/out fuel and you don't even know it! Any time you let off the throttle while above 1300 RPMs, your wheels are turning your motor and your ECU shuts off the fuel injectors!

Eventhough you and I know it's the thicker wire (I'm sure it's noted somewhere in my write-ups or webpages), you ALWAYS have to verify the wire with a multimeter. Metering the wire is a necessary part of the write up and anyone who claims to have followed the write up w/out doing so is basically a dipshit.

There is almost noo slack. I had to get under the metal frame to cut it. so its not too obviouse that i have a by pass.
