Injector Resistors
#1
Does it matter what wire the resistor is tied into? Im guessing since all the injector wires have a black and yellow wire... that's a ground? Should I use the colored wire to tie the resistor into? Thanks.

some people say it matters, some do not. When I was having problems with my car after all the rebuilding/upgrading, I tried the resistor on either wire. Both with the same result. Just remember DC current runs in a loop, so the resistor will have the same effect regardless of where you put it

Yea it shouldn't matter. I think I put mine in the power wire though. Be carefull and make sure you use quality resistors and solder them in properly. I was in a rush and got some crappy resistors from an electronics warehouse called Fry's. They were big rectangular ceramic resistors with a solid wire comming out of each end. One of the wires broke off while I was on boost, and cost me a motor. My guess is from vibration. We have some nice compact resistors that have a built in heat sink and work much better if you want some. Don't use the big ceramic ones.

black with yellow stripe is the power wire. it's also the thicker of the two. I put my resistors in this wire because there is just more to solder to and it will be stronger. I used 9.1 ohm 1 watt resistors for years and I've never had any problems yet on any of the 8-10 cars that I know they have been used on..
