First startup on Megasquirt!!!!!
 
I've done it! Tonight I got my first ever startup on the new MSPNP2. Vid below
It runs like ass, but it does run. It idles fine, I have not yet driven it so I don't know how well it performs there. I did notice my wideband disagrees with my computer on AFR value. Gauge says 12 and the computer says 14 or so. I am grounding the wideband on the back of the head near the fuel regulator, which I've been told is a good spot. I'm also hearing a very loud rushing sound from the engine bay (audible on video) so I might have some vacuum/intake tube leak. I did all the work to make this happen, so I'll check over everything again. The car cranked forever and only started when I gave it a blip of throttle while cranking. I'm simply running the base tune (I timed it of course) so I need to learn how to tune to get it driving good enough to get to a professional.
I would love your comments, suggestions, etc.
I was super worried but glad she's alive again. Scary stuff, this is.
-EDIT: The reason I kept repeating "bad omen" is because my garage light flickered (visible on video, watch the hood of the car)
Thank you

I had the same thing going on with my wideband when I first got it. I bought an AEM. I selected the other AEM wideband option and it was very close. within 0.2 or so. Have fun!

I figured out what the problem was. There's a setting in MS where you tell it what voltage from the wideband correlates to what AFR and I just had to put in the values from the instruction manual. It's now super close.
