The harness plugs in under the steering wheel. If you remove the black plastic covers (one has the heater vent and the other goes around the steering column), you will see it. It is right behind a blue, flat, three inch plug. I had to disconnect a lot of wires before I got the harness situated correctly. Here's a tip... my ignition harness was a biotch to get apart... I had to use a small screwdriver to depress the tab so I could pull the plug out. Everything was pretty tight in there, but after some re-arranging it all fit together nicely.
As far as the other 3 wires... the gray goes to the parking brake switch, the white to the ECU for the O2 sensor and the black to the ECU ground. If you don't use the white for the A/F ratio, you will still have to take the black to ground somewhere on the chassis for the timer to work. Good luck.

Don't remeber the color off hand. If you have the manual and the ECU in the correct positions it is easy to figure out. If that is what you did go with that.

I believe in the paper work with the timer there is a pamplet thing that shows which wire off of our ECU is the 02 sensor.... If it's like mine, it's a black and white diagram that's kinda fuzzy.

And don't feel bad if you can't get the "Auto" part of the timer to work right. I just have mine set up on a certain length of time. No one i've talkd to (including the people at Apex'i) could tell me how to set it up to monitor itself and shut down when levels are acceptable.

thanks..i did splice into the black 02 wire ( i just wasn't sure if it was a ground wire or in fact the O2 wire)

I opened up the center console where the brake lever was...i couldn't pinpoint where the brake signal wire was...i just saw the crank (or maybe i just didn't look hard enough?) and there are a bunch of wires for the different buttons on the console...
can someone tell me which one and what color is of the brake line?

I think it is a light green or grey. Check by the brake pivot point it will be near that.
