3.0 SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED
Installation of the COMMANDER 950 intake system and the ECU requires approximately the same level of skill and
experience to replace or service an induction system consisting of a carburetor and conventional intake manifold (as well as
basic wiring skills for the installations of the ECU).
Tuning of the system requires basic computer skills and a basic knowledge of engine and fuel injection principles. The
information needed to tune this system is included in this manual. Read it thoroughly.
Tuning your EFI system is an ongoing project, until you get it dialed in for all conditions. Be patient.
NOTICE: If you are not absolutely certain that you have the skills and experience required to perform these
procedures, we strongly recommend you have this system installed and tested by a technician with
specialized training in EFI and fuel systems service.

5.0 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Proper installation of the wiring harness and all electrical connections are critical for proper and reliable
operation of any EFI system. Damage to the ECU can also result from improper wiring.
Wiring diagrams are provided for reference during connection of electrical components. These diagrams shows the
connectors included with the wiring harness and table shows the color codes and connections for all of the loose wires without
connectors. See Appendix 10 for the wiring harness diagram.
NOTE: Some of the wiring schematics include wiring for optional kits. This is the cooling fan relay kit. Cooling relay kits
can be purchased separately.
