How To Install Mapclamp
Tools Needed:
-Exacto, razor knife or razor blade
-Soldering iron/gun
-very small flathead screwdriver
Materials Needed:
-Solder
-Electrical Tape
-two zip ties(the above can be used if you don't have any)
Before you start anything, get your soldering gun plugged in and let it heat up(depending on type of gun). Make sure you have an extension cord long enough to reach your vehicle.
Start off by making sure your keys are out of the ignition. Then disconnect the negative battery cable. Remove the injector cover to reveal the wiring harness thats attached to the fuel rail. There is a smaller harness that runs from the large harness down to your MAP SENSOR. Your map sensor is located on your intake manifold. It should be a off white connector with a red tab. Pull out(but not completely) this red tab and press on the plastic tab on the map sensor. It should easily pull up toward the fuel rail. Now that thats disconnected, pull that connector and wiring through and over the fuel rail to gain more access to the wiring.
Pull back the tape that wraps around the map sensors wires untill the orange, green and black wires are exposed. Once that it done use an exacto or razor knife(blade) to strip away some insulation from each wire. Try and make them as close to the same height so the mapclamp will solder in easy and even.
Once the insulation on all the wires are stipped off(no more than an inch of copper should be exposed) wrap the exposed mapclamp wires around the proper colored map sensor wire.
Red to Orange, Black to Black, and White to Green. There are only three wires on the clamp and three on the map sensor wiring so it's very simple.
MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT SOLDER ANY OF THE MAP SENSOR WIRES TO ANOTHER MAP SENSOR WIRE.
Once these wires are soldered on nice and strong, wrap them up with electrical tape individually at the soldering points, and then together. Wrap up any exposed wiring and ziptie(or tape) the mapclamp to the large wiring harness. Run the connector back under the fuel rail and connect back to the map sensor. Make sure you put the red pib back in as well. Put your injector cover back on, reset the computer and your done.
Adjusting Map Clamp:
As far as the direction to turn the adjustment screw on the clamp, just remember: Left=lean(more timing), Right=rich(less iming). Watch your afr's and make sure there in a safe range for your setup. Once you have it where you want it your ready to go. Enjoy.
