MS IS IN AND WIRED!!!! after several hours and tweaking the tune and then finding some unsecured grounds the car fired up. throttle needs to be adjusted and it's idling at 2800 rpm's tho..
and question. has anyone heard on the MS misreading vac pressure? so far on the live feed the map isn't reading. it's saying my min & max is at 100. i'm sure john can chime in on what it's doing. he's been teaching me about the reading all damn night but he'll be able to explain it better. we're both stumped.
the car is up and running tho!!! i'm happy to hear it again

at first (when we were having issues getting to to start) the MAP stayed at 11 or 12, we finally got it to start and it slowly started to creep up to 20 (even if the motor was not running). After we fixed some of the grounds it went up to 100 and stayed there while the car idled, under part throttle and even when we turned the car off.

It should read 100 when the car is off. 100 = atmosphere (I assume you know this already though)
I believe it should read around low to mid 20s on a stock 420a at idle (assuming the rings are not wasted and the valve seals are good) - that was what I had back on my stock block.

but what is throwing me off is that it sits at 100 no matter if the car is running or not. we double checkled the vac line and everything.

yes the stock vac is right around 20 on a stock 420. john is right tho. i'ts 100 no matter what. and the vac line is clear, nothing blocking what so ever. and rings and seals have around 2k on them. i hope their not bad lol
