anybody kno how to hook up a flamethrower module into the ignition of a v6 electrically controlled ignition. specifically how to hook it to the negative wire?
the instruction just say to hook it into the negative i wire but thats for an engine with a single coil. i hav 3..... anybody help me? thx

i think is question is how to wire it. i assume its got a propane kit, because you would have to tune the engine to run rich enough to put enough fuel in the pipes to burst into flame, which would roast your cats and o2 sensors and send the PCM haywire.
i would assume you could run it off the ground of one of the coil packs, but it may not fire as much as it would have to. maybe you could tie into all three grounds of the packs, but i wont make any solid recommendations until rwenzing or john chimes in.

it is a simple design, but i really worry that that much fuel will seriously damage the emissions and fuel system, as well as throw a check engine light for the cylinder misfire. a propane kit is not that much money, it has an orifice that installs near the rear of the pipe and a small tank you can open when you want to use it, so you get NICE safe flames.

i know im beginning to sound like a broken record, but i swear this is the last time. a system like that, while it may be cheaper, is not the best way to go on a nice fuel injected truck that you actually care about. spend a few more bucks and get a propane kit that will not dump fuel into your computer controlled emissions system and interrupt your computer controlled ignition

The answer is the same one you got from myself and others on RPS. The red/light green is positive and any one of the three tan/xxxxx wires could be negative.
I'm just guessing but, by the sound of it, this system cuts power to the engine coil and shifts it to the added exhaust coil. The dead cylinders pump raw air fuel mixture into the exhaust where it is ignited.
Ignoring the legal issues of an accessory like this, think about the practical problems. This could be a very bad thing for your catalytic converters which are designed, sized and located to process a low concentration of unburned fuel and oxygen. They will quickly overheat in the presence of a full dose of combustible mixture passed from the cylinders. Then the internal substrate will melt and clog them solid. It only takes a few seconds to push them to the melting point of 2200F.
