    find any Ig. hot. doesnt matter what, its just gonna be used as a trigger.
    Get a 4 or 5 pin relay like this.
    [​IMG] and do this:
    85- Ig hot wire you found
    86- Ground
    87- Strong 12v source (battery or main input to fuse box)
    30- Output to Pump.
    BTW, dont pay over like 4/5bux for one of these relays

    You can get a cheap led (which means you will also have a polarity indication) continuity tester for probably less than I spend on my morning esspresso.

    For a guy with a welding station not to have a $10 multimeter is kind of funny. Sorry I can't help, but I do have a meter...

    The injector power is set up to run whenever the car is running.It will provide plenty of power to trigger the relay for pump.
