I've been talking with my buddy in Texas that let me use his Syvecs for testing. We've been talking about my issues with water injection, and I can't believe I didn't think of this before.
He was saying the reason it fried my ECU is because I need a driver for the solenoid, and it's a common problem with water injection systems. I was looking up drivers just now and found this Holley driver, that looks exactly like the FJO driver I used to use (https://www.modularheadshop.com/i-24866 ... odule.html), and it occurred to me that I'm trying to use basically the same kind of system, but I haven't had a driver to pulse the solenoid, which is needed because a relay isn't enough to do it and I wasn't even using a relay anyway as it was going straight into the ECU. It's no wonder it fried. I'm going to call Rodney at ProMeth tomorrow to discuss what will fix my WI issues. I'm told he used to work for FJO so he should know exactly what I need.
I had heard about needing a solid state relay but then heard about needing a driver. At the moment I'm thinking this would fit the bill, but we'll see.
