Default Help to clear things out w, Accel VIC

Just bought a Variable injector controller from ACCEL for my 91 Vette.

But the dumba*s that i bought it from had cut some wires in the harness. So i need a friendly soul that can help me though this installation.

The cables are following

Power- Red
Ref- Green
Gnd- Black
Gnd- Black

And all the rest are for the injectors.

In the manual they say that the red power cable connects the battery + and the black to the ground or battery -. And the pink cable to the 12switched power? What pink cable? I only got the 2 black for the grounds a green for the Ref ( that i assume should connect to my Ecu signal for the injectors ) and then i have the red for the 12v +.

Is there anybody here that have installed the VIC? And can help me?

Sounds like you should've bought the one I've got for sale!

Ok...Here's what mine looks like:
Power-Red
Reference-Green
Ground-Black
Ground-Black
Inj. 8-Gray
Inj. 7-Wht/Blk
Inj. 6-Pink
Inj. 5-White
Inj. 4-Green (same color, oddly, as the Ref)
Inj. 3-Yellow
Inj. 2-Purple
Inj. 1-Orange

My manual also lists a pink wire as the switched 12v source... But it's not on mine either; the switched 12v is a secondary red wire... I have a 3-pin weather pack connector for the power on my unit (mine was used with a DFI system as a "plug 'n' play"); it has a 12v constant (to battery), a 12v switched (which is red as well and is spliced to the injector harness) and a single ground. The injector harness is a 10-pin weather pack with power, ground, and the injector leads... The reference wire (green) is by itself and spliced into the ECU. So, in other words you should have TWO red wires, one is constant 12v and the other is switched.

Hi..

Ye it surely reminds me of your box. Is it possible to take one of the injector signal to the reference wire? And run the box? As i figured it must be enough to drive 12v+ to the red wire that goes to the box and ground the two blacks to make it run? And all it needs is a signal from one of the original injectors to give the outputs right?

The plan was to run it on a 730ecm. But now í´m converting a Cylcone Ecu to run the low Z instead. Don´t feel like having boxes all around just to run w, the low Z´s
