I've searched and found nothing. I'm trying to decide on a suitable +12V power tap location for my FIC and would like to know how much current it draws. It was enough to throw a CEL for "low O2 sensor heater circuit" when I tapped it off a 10A fuse for "EFI No.2". TIA.

Nevermind, I called tech support and got my answer. <2A for the FIC + up to 6A off the (VTEC) +12V switched output. Anyone planning to power something off the 12V output, other than a relay, should probably tap the FIC off the battery using a ign switched 10A relay and fuse. The FIC alone should be fine piggybacked onto another +12V circuit. Just make sure you don't tap one that is controlled by or monitored by the ECU.
