Could take it from the sterio? On the inginition the bottom left is the one that goes to the sterio witch only comes on when you turn the key.

Have you got any pictures? Would it not be easier ti do it to the wires going to the ignition barrel itself seeing as the ecu will be in d/s kick panel?

There's an ignition switched live in the stereo loom, red or yellow, can't remember. Easy enough to test for.

just read your project thread, why are you wanting to have the fuel pump run from the ignition? does it not work anyway?

you shouldnt need to run anything from the fuel pump. Run a black wire from the battery to the black wiring on your xe loom where it meets the corsa loom and you have cut it up.

match the black wire from the xe loom to the corsa loom then attach the black wire from the battery to these joined wires, should fire up no problem
