PCM power question I am putting a LM7 engine into a kit car I'm building and using an aftermarket LS1/LS6 harness and PCM to control it. The harness draws battery power from a connection at the battery terminal post on the starter. The way I want to wire the battery power is from the battery to a cutoff switch (on the Dash) and then to the starter which means that the PCM will lose power every time I turn off the cut off switch. Does the PCM need a battery feed for memory or can I cycle power to it?
I'd like the cut off switch to be able to kill power to entire car.
thanks

The positive terminal from the starter is not a good place to feed the PCM.
When cranking the voltage drops too much across the wire, it can affect the PCM. It's better to hook another wire directly from battery
