I would double check your connection. If thats not just right you'll get a cel. Also have the codes pulled to see what error your getting. If you don't already, I recommend putting the 10k on a switch so it can be easily turned off. That would help with diagnosing your trouble as well as it convenient.

Sorry, cel= check engine light. To get the codes pulled you can go to a autozone or similar place and they will usually pull them for you.

All ya got to do is install a switch on either side of the resistor to open or close the circuit. I routed the wiring into the cab and mounted the switch below the steering wheel.

so in other words you just attach one wire on one side of the resistor and the other wire on the other side of the resistor.

One side of the resistor will go to the ipr, Then the other will route to the switch. then back out of the switch and back to the other side of the ipr. (injection pressure regulator)

Sorry, I can't explain things very well in words! LOL
