FTDI chipset USB to serial cable
Did the boot jumper thingy
MSPNP is out of the car
Port check:

<p>Was the boot jumper installed? What brand USB adapter?</p><p>Your serial comms appear to be garbage. If the boot jumper was installed, you need to replace your tuning cable and/or USB adapter.</p>

I used a piece of wire to short the boot, as for USB adapter, I originally was using this with no issues: TRENDnet | Products | TU-S9 | USB to Serial Converter which is a prolific chipset. After getting tired of trying to make it work, I browsed the msextra forums, and many recommended a ftdi base chipset for the USB adapter.
So I went out and bought this thing: SABRENT Model SBT-FTDI - Newegg.com
and still no luck. I considered the tuning cable to be bad, so I opened up the serial connector but I didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

<p>It looks like symptoms of a bad cable. The other option is that the bad cable screwed comms up so bad, the monitor on the MS1 chip is toast. If that's the case, the easiest solution is to purchase a new MS1 chip. They're cheap.</p>

Sorry to hijack, but this doesn't really seem worthy of a new thread. Is there any way to find out which pin is which? I bought a DIYPNP already built and I can't find a pinout anywhere. I mean I can probably figure it out if I look at a stock ECU harness pinout and then look at the board and all the documentation, but I figure someone HAS to have already done this. My car is a 96 manual with a blue board (3.0) DIYPNP.

I was going to write some pissy-mean comment, but it was actually just easier to link what you needed:
