Ok so my car has been running fine for a while. Today I went to start it and it dident even catch.
It seems then when I crank it over, megatune shows a random rpm for .5 of a sec, then it shows 0 rpm.
For example, When I crank the car over, megatune will show 330 rpm and a PW of 3.2 for half of a seconded, then it shows 0 rpm and the resulting 0 PW.
Also, I have COPS.
I know the wireing from the bord to the harness is fine, I checked.
Its weird its like MS senses the RPM for a half a sec, then doesent.
What the hell is going on!? and I need the car to drive to the beach tommorow haha.... ****.
Is there something I can check with the cops?
ALSO IT RUNS FINE WITH THE STOCK ECU AND AFM (altho rich from my large injectors, but it runs none the less)

Generic Answer:
First: Try unpluging and repluging in MS and see what happens
Second: Reflash Firmware and load a KNOWN GOOD TUNE (N O T the one you're running right now).

Well I got it running... for some reason one of the wired imbedded into the MS bord was scratched and broken. I put some solder on it, seems to work.
But now the Tach in the car doesent move? lol this I do not understand. The tach gets its signal from the gray sheilded wire from the MS, correct?
