So I get home from work, wash the car, fill it with alcohol, get the dog on his chain, put the kid seat in the car, out the kid in the car, get ready to start it and I see this light on on the dash that says "Power Injection"

DOH!

Jump out of the car, pop the hood, rip wires off the relay to shut off my stupid alcohol pump. Rip the pressure switch off and throw it into the field. My stupid ass pump put half a gallon of alky in my engine and intercooler.
I tried to start the engine and nothing, hydrolocked.
Now I get to pull the plugs, clear the alky out, pull the intercooler, drain it, blah blah blah :add_shit: :pedro: :banghead:

Steve I need a new switch, can you email me some info on yours?

I'll agree with Razor here- I don't use Hobbs either.

Steve I got the switch today, thanks. Now what wire goes to what terminal? This is the type of switch that came with my Jay Carter kit, but I forgot long ago which connection went where. Thanks.

Not Steve but....general swithch knowledge applys.

If it only has 2 terminals it doesn't matter.

If it has 3, one should be normally open, one normally closed, and one constant. I think you want normally open, so, if you hook it up and the pump runs (not under boost), use the other one. Or you could check that there is no continuity when not under boost.

Bob:
Weeeeee is right- use the terminals marked NO and COM. (normally open & common)
