the red to ignition is a switched ignition. It needs power (12v) from a source that only supplies the power then the car is on (switched ignition).

If you are having trouble finding some try this. In your fuse box under the dash there are to blank pins. These are accessory plugs that honda gave us. One is switched ignition and once is switched lights. Use a volt meter or a test light to find which is which. Crimp a good female connect on the wire and plug er' in.

so the red wire from the msd rpm switch is a accessorie turned on when you turn the key. and the #85 from the relay goes to an accessorie that is also tuned on when the key is turned...correct?

Yes and no. You need to hook it up to an "ignition hot" so it is on when the ignition is on or the engine is running. That would be the last position of the ignition not counting the starter(duh).

ok can you hook up through a relay and a push button switch (push to activate and release to de-activate) to kick in when you want it to. or does it have to be computer controlled?
