I'm installing a VAFC in my rex w/ a pm6 ECU, and started the install tonight. (I know I know, I'm gonna get a vtec ecu eventually, just didn't have the dough to go obd1 like I want right away...) Everything went fine until I got to the power/ground/rpm signal wires. On the diagram that A'PEXi provides, here (http://www.apexi-usa.com/productdocumentation/electronics_vafc_update.pdf), using diagram WH1, my car has a yellow/black power wire where the rpm signal should be, and nothing where it shows there should be a power wire. It was easy enough to figure out which wire had ignition controlled power with a test light, and I can see a brown ground wire, but I have absolutely no idea which one is the rpm... has anyone done this and know what color wire I'm looking for at the ECU?
Also, are the other wire locations correct? There are wires in the other spots, but I certainly don't know that they do what the diagram says...
I could really use some help!

that diagram is for OBD1. you are still using OBD0, so you need to use diagram h1-a in the instruction manual, on page 17. http://www.apexi-usa.com/productdocumentation/electronics_vafc.pdf
if you wired yours using that OBD1 diagram, you are gonna have to take everything you did off and start over, because nothing is in the same place, well except the pressure signal wire.

That is a clutch piece of information. Luckily, I only wired up the pressure signal before I noticed the discrepancy, so it's all good! Thanks a bunch!!!
