homemade hot wire no work

[mikeneedacar]

i am trying to install a hot wire kit myself and i am almost done. Is the copper wire in the truck(triger wire) suppose to be hot,cause mine isn't. where does that wire come from

It's only hot when the pump is supposed to run: 1.start cycle and then 2.oil pressure up when running.

so how long is it on when the key is in run position but the car is not cracked yet

 

[scottyb]

Not sure, maybe 3 seconds or so.
I 'think' that I remember it not cycling repeatedly(turn ignition off and back on several times), but I find it hard to believe the ECM is that smart.

One of the 2 loose wires behind the alternator will power the pump if you apply power. Don't remember which one, search for fuel tank drain. Be sure you get the right one, the other wire for the tach.
