Injector wire gauge

Post by spg »

Little confused at the moment just about to order the cable for my MS 2 intsall.

The manual says

"For the wires from the DB37 connector to the sensors, injectors, etc., use 18 to 20 gauge for all the connections, then bring them to a common 14-12 gauge where appropriate. The only big wires are the ground and the two injector driver pairs, 32-33 and 34-35, all the rest can be 18 gauge all the way out."


Does this mean
A Bring them all out using 18 to 20 gauge then for the injectors and grounds jion them up to 14-12 gauge wires as they come out of the D connector.

B Run the thicker wire straight out of the connector.

I'm guessing it's A

Just want to make sure.
