Hmmm, good one....don't most of the sensors use a 5v reference? Maybe tap into the TPS, just not sure which wire....

I have a gm map sensor and gm oil/fuel pressure sensor that I have installed for the boost and fuel pressure, but I'm not sure which wire I can get 5v off to power them. I suppose I can just take a multimeter and start testsing away but I figured I would check here before I did that

When I Installed My Fuel Pressure Sensor I Spliced 5v And Ground From My Map Sensor On The Top Of The Intake Cause It Was The Closest. Give Me Your Vehicle Info And I Can Get You Wirecolors.

I don't think I have egr.. there is nothing comming the exhaust manifolds? Do you mean there could still be wiring there? Got any idea what wire colors or where to look?

I believe that 03's don't have EGR, I thought that they did away with it in 02...at least on the 1500's...
