what to wire ic pump to?

im currently using the fuel pump fuse but im getting a code for the fuel pump circut relay because its drawing to much power from the pump.

i dont want to use daytime running lights cuz i frequently turn them off

what else can i use?

Try using the SAI fuse under the hood. Thats what the LSJ uses for the water pump.

i thought the coolant pump on the lsj was controlled by the ecu and only turned on when it reached certain iat's?

Don't know about that. But if that fuse has power switched with the ignition. then for by all means use it. I sure as hell plan on trying.

i have 2 15amps running it right now. i guess vince said not to use that so now im trying to figure out what to use.

EDIT: i tapped using an add a circut and used a 15 amp to power the fuel pump and a 15 to power the ic pump

i would like to find another constant to use that doesnt throw codes.

The SAI doesn't work, I tried it. The DRL was the best I could find to use although I used to frequently turn mine off also. I now just deal with it when my lights come on in broad daylight and I can't read my dash lol

Fuel pump seems to work for some people and not others. A lot of build threads say use it but I got the code about fuel pump circuit as well. If you do run it inside a good option is the windshield wipers. That's what I wired the lights on my gauges up to.

i have my gauges wired to the windshield wipers. i dont wanna rewire my ic pump. it was a bitch to wire and get the wires tucked the way i like them as it is. i want something in the fuse panel i can use thats under the hood.

i want something not related to fueling. haha id hate to have something go wrong and i lose my fueling to the engine.

i want to keep the IC pump in the fuse box under the hood because i really dont want to have to re-run wires for it.

Add-a-circuit is fool proof. Nothing would go wrong.

well im sitll gonna wait for someone else to chime in on a good switched constant that doesnt relate to headlights or fueling because on the fuel pump fuse im getting a code for the relay circut

but i appreciate all the responses.

im still waiting on vince to email me back also. i have to upload my second tune tomorrow and re-datalog. i was running extremely rich under boost according to my logs

running e85 on 60's and 3.1

will get vids up as soon as things are all dialed in for those who are interested. but until tomorrow i will be looking for more answers on the ic wiring

I run mine to my fuel injectors fuse lol

I'm pretty sure you'll have to run it inside the car if you don't want to connect it to anything fuel or lighting related...

You should have a sunroof fuse inside the car which you can tap into

Why not wire a relay into the Fuel pump circuit. and then fuse the wire after the relay.

this is what i'm gonna do since i already have it in there lol...i mean drumrush said his is to the fuel pump fuse, so obviously some people use the fuel pump fuse to run it and dont have problems... so after i tune, i'll see if i get a code or not and see what vince says when i data log...

i just sent my second tune datalogs to vince. you guys are in for a real treat when you finally get up and running. i cant beleive how hard this pulls compared to stock haha. ive never had a boosted car before but holy **** is all ive got to say.

i was really discouraged on how the car ran after the first(base) tune and on e85. but im running strong now with hte second tune. just a few hiccups to work out but i already know im going to be needing a new clutch cuz it pulls ******* hard and it slips in 3rd. lol

i decided to just suck it up and wire it to the headlights. the WPR fuse under the hood is a constant non-switched source. i tapped into it and my ic pump came on even without the car turned on.
