My electrical diagrams don't list a wire size for the main orange power wire to the ECM. It just lists a 10A fuse to protect that circuit but that seems like a small fuse do something that runs both the ECM and fuel pump. Anyone know offhand if that wire is larger than 16g?
 
Same size as all the other wires off the ECM. The fuel pump wire Green/white stipe on most just sends a signal to relay that turns on and runs the pump and a wire from that Ts back to ECM to let it know it's working.

My ECM is buried inside the dash so I can't get to the wires until tomorrow. I actually needed the main power wire from the fuse block (orange). It also supplies the power to the fuel pump wire according to my diagram. I do have the pink/black wire accessible and it looks like it's 16g. I guess if the wires are all the same size than Ill assume the power wire is as well. Thanks.

Usually the main power (Battery +) wire is orange, and is usually 16 AWG. Usually the orange wire supplies Battery + to the ECM, Fuel Pump Relay, and the Oil Pressure Switch. I've worked on dozens of wire harness, but quite often the fuel pump ( + ) wire is gray, but not always. Usually the pink/black wire is a power wire ( + ) from the ignition switch, and supplies ( + ) power only when the ignition switch is in either the start / run positions.
