Hey guys so I'm completing the install on my edelbrock e street efi. The car is running and running pretty damn smooth though I haven't got to drive it yet. My problem is the car starts kinda hard you gotta try a couple times before it fires up. The main harness power and ground run right to battery and the fuel pump relay system does as well. The switched power wire runs to an accessorie fuse in block under dash and the fuel system relays gets it switch from the ecu. What I figured was at the split second I'm cranking the engine I might be losing power the same way a car stereo does being tied into accessories. I'm guessing this is probably shutting the ecu and in turn the fuel system off for a split second. My question is where can I get my switched power from for this that is on while in the run and cranking positions. Thanks guys.
 
You have two ignition wires coming off your ignition sw. One is ignition #1 for run and #2 for ignition when cranking. Tie the two together and use them to control the efi controller . On sixty models the wires will be brown and blue. They are the same ones that go to the ballast resistor. Pat
 
Brown and blue wires did the trick that's exactly what the problem was. She is running like a top now and drives great as well. I guess it takes a while for the ecu to Learn the car so just gotta keep driving it for a while oh darn lol. Thanks again
