-The power connection (labeled "​Vcc"​) needs to run to a +12v source. You can find +12v either straight off the battery (of course) or there'​s ​a +12v wire on the MAF connector harness ​too. This will be a thick red wire on pin 3 of a 1G MAF connector or pin 4 of a 2G/EVO3 MAF connector.+The power connection (labeled "​Vcc"​) needs to run to a switched ​+12v source. You can find a convenient switched ​+12v source ​on the MAF connector harness. This will be a thick red wire on pin 3 of a 1G MAF connector or pin 4 of a 2G/EVO3 MAF connector.
  
  
 The signal wire (labeled "​Out"​) needs to run to the ECU's MAF input. This is pin 2 (green with blue stripe) on a 1G MAF connector or pin 3 (blue with yellow stripe) on a 2G/EVO3 MAF connector. The signal wire (labeled "​Out"​) needs to run to the ECU's MAF input.

 |**FlexOctWeight** ​ |Displays the weighting given to the MaxOct tables based on ethanol content. A value of 100% means the MaxOct table is being used exclusively with no influence from the MinOct tables. A value of 50% means the MinOct and MaxOct tables are being averaged equally. | |**FlexOctWeight** ​ |Displays the weighting given to the MaxOct tables based on ethanol content.

-|**FlexFuelAdj** ​ |Displays the amount of fuel adjusment ​to be applied based on ethanol content and the ECU's configuration. A value of 0% would mean that no ethanol-related enrichment is being applied. A value of 50% means a 50% ethanol-related enrichment will be applied in the final injector ​pulsewidth ​calculation. Typical values for FlexFuelAdj are somehwere ​from around 6% for E10 and maybe 55% for E85. But this all depends on other parameters described below. |+|**FlexFuelAdj** ​ |Displays the amount of fuel adjustment ​to be applied based on ethanol content and the ECU's configuration.

 So you would change the -40.5% global fuel to -56.2% before enabling the ethanol sensor adjustment in ECMLink. So you would change the -40.5% global fuel to -56.2% before enabling the ethanol sensor adjustment in ECMLink.
