I took some pictures on my phone while my son was doing the install but the phone has had some "technical difficulties" since then. I'll have to see if the pictures made it. Basically, there are two wires going to each injector. One of those wires will be the same color on all three injectors; that will be the power supply. I went back on the harness a little and cut those wires and put the relay in the circuit. On the harness/powered side of the connection, run a wire to the power supply terminal of the relay. Then run a wire from the remaining power supply terminal of the relay inside to a switch then run a wire from the switch to ground. I could try to sketch a schematic but I don't recall the colors of the various wires so it would be only a basic circuit outline.

On long commutes, you can get 60-75mpg even with temperatures as low as -5 degrees in my experience, with only a radiator block. Under decent conditions, of course.

On short commutes of less than 10 miles, it starts to get difficult. 45-60mpg.

On even shorter commutes, 45-50mpg.

If it's snowy and you have snow tires on, 45-50mpg.

If it's super rainy, 45-50mpg.


If you're diamondlarry, add 20mpg to all of those.
