Help me wire up my Ram Jet ECU.
Help me wire up my Ram Jet ECU.
I have a few wires that I need to hook up to make my ram jet ocmputer function. Here are the wires that I need to hook up;
1) 12v
2) Ground
3) Fuel pump signal
4) Fuel pump ground
5) Ignition
6) Tachometer
OK, 1,2,and 5 are easy. But, do I even need to hook up 3 and 4? The car is an L98 car and already has an adequate fuel pump that is controlled by the stock ECM. Do I even need to do this? I think they put these wires on there for applications where a stock EFI fuel system wasnt available and they need a way to turn the fuel pump on and off. I dont know.
OK, the Tachometer wire. How do I get this hooked up to me stock tach? By the way, all of this is in an 89 Formula 350. Thanks in advance.

Are you leaving the stock ECM connected? It won't run the pump unless its getting ignition pulses from the dizzy.
I'd run the fuel pump using the Ramjet ECU.
Run the trigger wire from the RJ ECU to the existing FP relay.
I'm not sure what the FP ground is for. The pump is grounded back at the tank.
The tach wire should come right off the ignition coil the same as stock. (Small cap HEI)

Yeah, your right about the fuel pump wires. Ill run it with the MEFI3 computer. Thanks. Anyone know which wire in the fuel pump relay plug is the Hot one and which one is ground?
