A. Jack up the rear of the car and support with jack
stands.

the fuel tank on the passenger’s side. Drill a 1/8”

adel clamp and #10 sheet metal screw. (See
Figs. 6-a, 6-b.)
C. Remove the female hose end connected to the
fuel filter inlet.
D. Insert the pump inlet hose assembly into the
female supply hose fitting by gently pushing the
fittings together and making sure they are locked.
E. Plug the female connector located on the pump
discharge line onto the fuel filter inlet, making
sure the hose assembly clears all sharp objects.

to the fuel pump as shown in Figs. 6-a and 6-b.
Secure the relay with the sheet metal screw
provided.
G. Lift the center divider located between the rear
seats and remove the rubber cap beneath it to
reveal the fuel pump wiring harness.
H. From relay terminal #85, tap the yellow wire into
the factory fuel pump harness. Tap into the
purple wire with pink stripes using the supplied
scotch lock. (See
Fig. 6-c.)
I. Connect the short red wire on relay terminal #87
to the (+) terminal of the fuel pump.
J. Connect the short black wire to a clean ground
from relay terminal #86 (the relay mounting screw
works well).
