As you can tell from all the recent questions, we're getting close!
Battery is ordered (thanks Stu for the tech help) and thinking about the wiring for the fuel pump. It was run under the car before and now i'm redoing it to run with the main loom. The +12v was joined in some random place in the engine bay, then i changed it to run from a spare outlet in the fuse block. Reading through the instruction manual, i'm a bit confused:
Quote:
If the Safety Circuit is not used, connect wire to the “ON” terminal of ignition switch if conditions will permit.
Connection can be made at any point between ignition switch and resistor or ballast in the primary circuit (used in most 12-volt systems).
Install a 10-amp fuse between the oil pressure safety switch and the pump. Care must be exercised as some car manufacturers incorporate this resistance in a wire located within the wiring harness.
Full battery voltage must be available to the pump when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position.
The very last sentence... i think i understand after reading a few times, it's saying that you can't do it the way i have it (running via accessory terminal on fuse block) as that doesn't have power when the key is in the ignition position i.e when the starter is running. Accessory loses power so then you would lose fuel pressure.
It's saying that you need to have power during starter and run. Apparently the oil pressure switch has power during both? I am planning on running through a relay, so i can take signal wire from the oil pressure gauge if that would work? Not sure what else can be accessed that has power both when the starter is on AND the engine is running?
