Default 12v keyed (resistor box)

Where is there a 12v keyed power source that is convenient to wire the resistor box to? Also doesn't the box ground itself??

Do you mean the fuel injector resistor? 94

The injectors are powered by the fuel injector relay in the PGM-FI Main Relay and if it is a 95 Civic then it is the yellow/black from the PGM-FI Main Relay, [injector relay output] not any black/yellow. 94

The iacv wire is a lot closer and a lot easier to get to than the main relay yellow/black. Also there is only one black and yellow wire color so it doesn't really matter if i alternate the colors unless I'm being tested and graded on it at this messageboard for some particular reason.

What do you mean "alternate the colors" there is a yellow/black, injector relay output, [a 15A circuit] and a black/yellow evap. circuit, [a 7.5A circuit].

So if you were being "tested", it would be a fail. 94

If the iacv wire is yellow black then it would make sense that it wouldn't matter if I alternated the colors describing them since it's obvious what I'm referring to, otherwise I woulda said black/yellow if I was actually trying to be specific.

Nobody in their right mind is going to go all the way to the evap to tap into that wire. Furthermore, noone in their right mind is going to tap into the main relay wire. Makes no sense at all.

The easiest wire to tap into is the iacv as I already stated considering it's right next to the fuel injectors.

Thanks for playing and have a nice day.

Your the one that said any black/yellow, the black/yellow is the evap circuit and it is a 7.5A circuit, so your saying it is OK to wire the injectors, [a 15A circuit] to a 7.5A circuit.

It's crap like that that I deal with every day, my buddy said it was OK to wire it like that and now I don't know why all the wiring burnt.

Stop playing. 94

i never said that ... u said that ... i said to wire it to the black and yellow colored iacv wire ... u proceeded to misinterpret what i said because u got all butthurt when i had the audacity to give him another, more favorable, place to tap into, rather than the main relay wire
