INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
Installation of this product requires detailed knowledge of automotive systems and repair
procedures. We recommend that this installation be carried out by a qualified automotive
technician.
When installing this product, wear eye goggles and other safety apparel as needed to
protect yourself from debris. If the vehicle must be raised to obtain access to the undercarriage,
make sure the vehicle is supported by jack stands on a hard, level surface. Set the vehicle parking
brake and use wheel chocks as necessary.
WARNING!
Disconnect the vehicle negative battery cable before beginning this installation. Observe
all routine safety precautions when working on or near the vehicle battery.
Note: If you have a force induction application which implements an FMU (Fuel Management Unit)
in the fuel system, the system fuel pressure will be affected, in most cases, as the PSC
switches from running the fuel pump at a lower speed to running at normal operating speed.
Addition tuning of the FMU may be required in these applications.
Note: If using the PSC on a distributorless ignition system, i.e. Ford modular motors or GM LS
series motors. The use of a Tach driver, Autometer 9117 or equiv., will be required
Aeromotive system components are not legal for sale or use on emission controlled motor vehicles.
