Default MSpnp no power

I installed my mspnp today to try and get started on my tuning. At first the car wouldn't start, I swapped ecus out then reinstalled my mspnp. Now my mspnp has no power (check engine light doesnt come on on my dash and megatune wont recognize) The fuse was pulled before I installed my megasquirt, could it have french fried on me some how? I mean it was communicating to my laptop perfectly before I pulled it out.

Unplug the igniter and burn firmware, load the 9093 base MSQ, adjust the com ports, try again.

Well when I plug the stock ecu back in I have power, I believe. CEL comes on on the dash but car wont start. I'll check both the connectors to see if I have 12v, I think I recall pin 26 but not sure on that

Is this a Gen 1 or Gen 2 MSPNP?

because it's not modded correctly? or not really a vtps? sounds like you've shorted to 5v.

well if you have a 1.6L tps, then you cant connect the TPS if the MS been modded for vtps...it causes a short to 5v.


keep it unplugged, so on about your day.
