How am I supposed to attach this power wire (+12v) to all 4 injectors?
I'm not entirely sure how to do this...
Thanks in advance for the help.

Soldering is a secnd/last chance option; IMHO.
Why? Its not the actual solder joint that is the problem:Its the HAZ)Heat Affected Zone) right next to the solder joint. If your wire temperature got to hot while soldering, the individual strands will become very brittel and will start to break one by one, causing increased temperature due to I2R losses in the remaining strands of wire.
Youe best bet is a high quality but connector installed with the correct tool. The majority of EMS problems can be traced back to the quality of the harness fabrication/Installation. And the Haltech Power solder joints were CRAP!

To be honest I haven't soldered anything. Is that bad?
