1.0 INTRODUCTION

 

 
You have purchased what we at Painless Performance Products believe to be the most up-to-date and easiest-to-install 
automotive fuel injection harness on the market. It is designed for easy installation, even if you have no electrical experience. 
 
This harness is designed to be a complete wiring system for the fuel injection system on General Motors 1996-2000 7.4 
engines. Also, to control the

 4L80E 

automatic transmission using the 1996-1997 computer Service 

#16229684 

and 

#16244210

. This includes all wiring that is needed by the computer to run and control the injection system and transmission. 

This harness will get the Vortec engine and transmission up and operating but it is recommended that you also have the 
computer reprogrammed to remove anything in the original factory programming that relates to a device or devices that are 
not being used in your particular vehicle.   
 
NOTE: Most likely the check engine light will come on and stay on when using a computer with the original factory               
              programming this is normal and is why we recommended that the computer be reprogrammed.  
 
NOTE: Most remanufactured computers come without any programming in them and must be programmed before                   
             they can be used.  
 
NOTE: The program in your computer must match the transmission that you plan on using.  The 60211 & 60216, require the  
             use of a 4L80E transmission. If any other electronic transmission is used, a stand alone control system is required. 
 
Usually, the computer, relays and fuse block can easily be mounted under the dash. Most of the wiring in the harness has 
been pre-terminated to the proper connector and all wire has been GM color-coded. All wiring is TXL, 600 volt, and 125 
degree centigrade with cross-link insulation. 
 
This fuel injection system harness has been divided into three major groups: 
 
ENGINE GROUP 

Includes wiring for the fuel injectors, ignition system, and sensors. 

DASH GROUP   

Includes ignition feed wire, assembly line diagnostic link (DLC) connector,  

 

 

check engine light, computer connectors, brake switch wiring, tachometer wiring,  VSS Signal 
wire, fuse block, and fuel pump relay connector. 

TAIL GROUP   

Include VSS wiring, transmission wiring and power wire for fuel pump

.
