So I made my harness and got almost everything ready. I still need to connect the VTPS, and UEGO (still using stock O2).
Setup:
Stock ignition
Injectors wired for sequential
GM IAT
No tps
I thought I'd test the harness to see if everything was ok, and for the most part it is. The IAT reads 0* I think this may be because its connected to the chassis ground instead of sensor ground (Link wiring).
I tried to fire it up using the base map and it cranks @ ~200rpm. It sounds like its missing. I have to get a timing light from my dad later tonight to see if its trigger the coils correctly.
Couple of questions:
Could not having a tps cause it to not run?
Thoughts on IAT ground..
What kind of vacuum should I see during cranking?

I got the VTPS and the ground for the IAT fixed.
It almost started once. It got up to ~1400 rpm but then it died and wouldn't start again.
I tried adjusting the fuel and timing and that didn't seem to help. Any suggestions on what to check next?

I think so. At one point it got up to ~1400rpm. I don't think that can happen w/o spark. I just heard from Travis, apparently because I'm using a different MAP sensor I was giving it about 4x too much fuel
. Hopefully the new fuel table he made will take care of it.

I should of sent out 2 maps one for the 1 bar and one for 3 bar. If this MAP I made for Turboroach works I'll send that out to the NA guys who got a 3 Bar map.

Sooo, it turns out that I had the coil triggers backwards.
I swapped the plug wires and it fired up first try!
I think I still have a grounding issue. When I rev it the water temp changes and the airtemp value still doen't make sense.
The MAP sensor calibration isn't quite right so I need to calibrate that, but it runs!

I blew my coils trying to install an MS sometime ago.
