I could very well be incorrect on this, but either way if it's working it shouldn't be a problem. My brain is freaking mush lately

*EDIT* - Ok. I did more think about this and I was wrong...sort of. The negatives and positives aren't reversed after all. But looking at the plugs, the wires are in different positions. If you're looking at the injector wires, towards the firewall, you'll see how the injector wires are. I'm not looking at the wires myself right now, so I'm just going to write out the basic idea of what I'm talking about. Every injector has a Yellow/Black wire, and then a colored wire. The OBD1 and OBD2 injector plugs have the Yellow/Black wires on the opposite sides. So one of the OBD plugs will have the Yellow/Black wire on the right side, while the other OBD plugs will have them on the left side. I suppose I may have been thinking about people who use OBD2 injector plugs and modify them to use OBD1 injectors (pulling out the blue plastic inside). In that case the negatives and positives would be crossed. But I was probably just not thinking
