Bought a Hondata Boost Solenoid .
Do I need to connect the diode 1N4004 ?

But the instructions never mentioned anything about diodes

follow the instructions in the help file then. You have an older set of instructions.

The diode gets wired in parallel with the solenoid, with the banded end toward the +12V... getting it wrong means smoking the driver in the ECU.
