Re: [ihc] High Amp Alternator

Currently, I have the trigger for the Projection tapped into the heater

I don't like this set up and am looking to change it. For my next plan of
action, I was going to add a small fuse panel connected to an Acc. tab on
the existing fuse box (thanks Ryan and Tom) and run a trigger wire from
that. The reason I haven't is that I'm not convinced that any circuit off
the fuse box will not drop out during cranking. This is where we left off
last time. Not knowing what circuit to use. Any help or suggestions are
appreciated.

George,

I must have asked you this before, but why aren't you triggering a relay from the + side of the coil?

I have a relay that is triggered from the + side of the coil, and I use the output of this relay for everything that needs to be on for both running and starting. In fact, I pick up a lead here for my non-resisted lead to the alternator.

I have a trouble shooting guide for the Holley and the back page is a diagram for testing if the "Fast Idle Solenoid Does Not Operate When Engine Is Cold" As I understand it, this is not your problem, it happens only when starting, but ....

They do have a sequence that might help. "Hook up Yellow wire to solenoid and remove Brown wire from temperature sensor. Turn Ignition on". If the solenoid does not energize, the problem is in the ECU, if it does, the problem is in the temperature sensor.
