I changed the filter, ran a full tank of 93 octane(Like always) with injector cleaner, that didnt help so I went to the wonderful town of bithlow for a tank of 106 octane to really clean out the system. Still the same. Please any info would help. 99' Silver Frost SVT 18" Racing Hart C2's Color matched Headlight covers Ding guards removed Custom intake B&M Short Shifter Koni's and Ground controls NGK Iridium plugs

You hook it right to the Schraeder valve (just like a tire valve stem) on your fuel rail.
