cause severe engine damage. Not all cars need
this modification.
3.4 NON POWER STEERING CARS: Locate
your lower bracket assembly from the kit. The
end with the small 90-degree bracket mounts to
the idler bracket (standard on AC equipped cars)
or to new idler bracket (supplied with kit for non-
AC, non-PS cars). Use the new, longer 10mm
bolt provided to attach this bracket to the engine
(Review figure 3.4 for bolt location).

4.0 POWERCARD

4.1 To access the ECU, remove the passenger’s
side kick panel trim by removing the plastic fas-
tener securing the top, front portion of the panel.
Use a small screwdriver to pull out the center
section and then pull the whole fastener out.
There is also a push in fastener in the center of
the panel. Slip your fingers up behind the panel
and gently pull out on the center until it pops
free. Once the center fastener is free, slide the
panel out from under the door sill trim and set it
aside. Remove the forward two screws from the
door sill trim to allow easy removal and reinstal-
lation of the carpet. Remove the floor mat and
pull back the carpet to expose a large metal
plate. Using a 10mm socket, remove the four
nuts and one bolt that secure the plate to the car.
Remove the plate to gain access to the
Electronic Control Unit (ECU). Illustration 4.1

4.2 Locate the PowerCard (Fuel Management
System) from your kit. We have included enough
wire to mount it on the center console or in the
glove box (recommended) and still reach the
passenger’s side footwell where the ECU is
located. Decide where you want to mount it,
route the wires from that location to the console
(or thru the glovebox area) back behind the
dashboard and down into the passenger’s side
footwell. Then cut the extra wire to length or
loop and wrap it with tape. Strip 1/4” of insulation
off of each of the PowerCard’s wires. Gather
together one (1) female spade connectors and
five (5) male spade connectors. Crimp the
female spade connector onto the Purple wire

and then crimp the male spade connectors onto
the rest of the wires. Slip the wires into the
included split loom. The split loom can be cut to
length as necessary. The Powercard will connect
to the ECU harness in the passenger (right hand)
foot well. We recommend routing the wires under
the dash or behind the center console on their
way to the footwell to keep them out of the dri-
ver’s way.
