Default Need help with VICS

I just completed a 1.8 NB1 swap in my 93 miata. Got everything working fine exept the vics manifold.
The car is running on a MS3 Basic and i wired the vics solonoid trough the evap charcoal canister wires. I read that those wires give a +12v and a switched ground at the ecu.
The problem where im running into is that i cant get it working trough ms3 basic.
Is it wired corrertly? if so which port do i use in programmable on/off outputs?

Should have had documents with the ECU. Reverent might be your next contact.

The evap wires are not connected to the ECU. Use the DB37 wires.

Which is not to say that you have to change what you did in the engine compartment. You can re-purpose the Evap wires, but you have to splice them into the DB37 wires at the MS3.

You should have a chart that tells which DB37 wire and output controls the VICS.

Thanks,

Rewiring the wires this saturday to the db37 connector. I think i will cut pin 2X (purge valve solonoid) on the ecu plug and wire this to the db37 connector.
