Take a brown, small guage, ground wire. 
Hook one end to the battery's negative post connector.
Run it around the back of the firewall and secure it along the way.
Unscrew one of the cold start ( also know as the '5th' ) injector's
mounting bolts.
Clean the metal surfaces with a good electronics contact cleaner.
Place a spade type wire connector on the bolt and reinsert the bolt back
were it was.
Connect the other end of the brown ground wire to the spade connector that
is now apart of the body/case/outside of the 5th injector.
Do Not harm, alter, disturb the 5th injector's signal wires, those that
activate it during cold starts.

Nuf said.
Andre- put the egg nog down man.
