Or, having just having a really big capacitor on the ecu line ? Ok, this one is wrong…
But, you get the idea, address the problem from a other angle, what’s your thought ?
Robin,
I vaguely remembered that a friend of mine had this very setup on one of his old RAM 1000 and I did a search and found it from 2002. Go to the attached link and look at post #9. I saw this work and it was the bomb. I bet this would be great for starting today's engines and carrying maybe a small 1100 mah battery to just run the pump.
