Default Another Sniper EFI question..

Hi guys I’ve just installed my sniper but when I turn the ignition switch to crank the display dies for a sec and starts right up again. Seems like wrong 12v wire? (Steering column) Anyone here knows which colour the RIGHT 12v ignition wiring is?

Sounds like it is hooked to accessory power? You can use the post on the fuse block marked IGN.

Did the efi conversion last year. Throttle response is amazing and the motor seems to run more efficiently.
