Trying to get the MS running standalone on my '00, but not having much luck. Running MS1 with a 96 CAS.

Tested spark and checked timing while cranking, and that doesn't seem to be the problem. Firstly, the fuel pump is not coming on I don't think, as I have tried the listen through the gas filler technique. Also the Pulse Width, Coolant, and IAT gauge is not working.

Help please?

Also I have attached a log of the cranking, and the tune I am using.

Sounds like you got some wiring wrong. How do you have the AIT and coolant guages wired up? Do you have a pullup in the MS for the coolant/AIT sensor? Was this MS previously used for a parallel install by chance?

I do have the IAT and coolant wired up, and the pull up resistors installed I believe (which ones were they? I believe I did, but it never hurts to be positive).

This car is the first car this MS is going on. I built it myself, and with standalone in mind.

Is this how it's wired up?
