Default AFS harness to fuel pressure sensor

A question to AFS users.

The wiring diagram only shows a single pin out to the fuel pressure sender but their are 2 tabs on the pressure sender unit. I dont want to assume one is for ground but thats probably it.

Anyone else know?

Hi Paul,

Looking at AFS's web store, I don't see a dual connection fuel pressure sender (bottom of page 1 and on page 2):

http://97.74.21.14/webstore/category-173/#1

Which AFS model is this for?

Looks as if AFS typically uses either Stewart Warner (gold colored) or VDO senders (silver colored). If you can you get a manufacturer part number, it can be looked up.

I don't have an answer, but I would recommend posting to AFS' support forum directly. Rob and/or Trever usually respond within hours.

If you have a two terminal sensor you need to ground one of the terminals.
