Need some help Julio

Hey the alky kit has been working great for the past few months I have had it on. But the other day; after a week sitting, I got on it on an on ramp and had like 10 deg of knock . Anyhow the turn-on led lits up red and does not change to green when I hit about 10-12PSI. I know it has to do with the green wire or the map sensor. I checked all the vacuum lines and they looked good. Where should I look next?

if you've got the led to come on which should come on between 4-6psi the map signal is working , at 10-12 psi you shouldnt be flowing much if any alky since it shouldnt be needed for that boost level but the pump is on at 4-6psi and flowing (low) in anticipation of higher boost
the red to green occurs with line pressure reaches approx 30psi , at 10-12 psi of boost line pressure should be low .

if you want to test the red to green led , at idle try turning the gain knob up to full and hit the test button , it should change over

If you hit the test button does the car stumble? Is the blue gain knob set high enough?

Try as stated above and put the knob on 8.. then hit the test button.. should stumble the car good. If not call me Monday and i'll see what is happening.

You can also drive down to the shop.. you are kinda close ya know

I will take a look at the brown wire like jolly said. I will also set the gain to 8 and try it from there. The gain right now is set around 5-6 and when I press the test button it stumbles and the red light and power injection light come on. I think it has to do with a wire loose somewhere....Better take it back to the guy who installed it....Oh wait thats me

Checked it out this morning and found that the black wire to the PI bulb had came undone. Seems to have fixed my problem
