Default HELP PLEASE: Reduced Engine Power w/DR. X

I have had my 90mm LS2 TB on my Radix for over a year using the vette TAC and an adapter pigtail. I recently came across a DrX harness and installed it today with the original TAC. Started it up....engine light...yay and the reduced engine power love note. This one came without instructions...and has one pink wire loose that i taped back. When I started it up...1100rpm idle...well trying to idle. I tapped the throttle and no real change. Seems the blade position is all out of whack. Is there something I need to do with the pink wire perhaps? Thanks.

You have the Gen 1 X harness. The pink wire needs to be connected to a 5 volt reference source in order to work.

Do a search on this site and you should find a ton of info.

thanks guys...i bough it from a vendor and did not know it was the gen 1 till it arrived. wish i would have spent the extra 20 for the gen 2 for cleaner install and a mounting post.

its an ls2 90mm TB. i got a hold of some instructions...is there another 5v reference in that part of the engine bay besides the AC connection?
