scary smoke
hmmm i installed the MS according to option #1 (having the ECU control fan, ac, etc etc.)
and i had the MS controlling timing/fuel
this was built by kingofl337, i'm sure you all know him
anywho, i plugged it in, put it on the ECU switch(since it had the choice between ECU and megasquirt) and the car started to idle badly, and shoot out white smoke!....
i immediately took it back off, plugged back in my old ECU and it runs fine again (thank god)
anyone know what hte problem might be?
by the way... it has the IAT wire hanging and the fuel pump wire hanging.... i believe i don't have IAT, but AIT... and as for hte fuel pump wire, where do i hook that up to?

you need to share the AIT signal with the stock ecu then.
the fuel pump wire needs to hook to the light green wire off the fuel pump relay under the dash, its to your left on a yellow plug.
you were most likely running horribly lean.

i wired up all the stuff that was needed.... same effects as before.... grey smoke flying out.... and guess what? FUEL PUMP was working fully (the pump was at 65psi) and uhh, i had both switches on ECU instead of MEGASQUIRT....

I don't believe kingofl337 built them with diy's mods, the transistors are removed preventing the LEDs from lighting.
Take a few pics of your board, front and back and we'll have it running for you.
