Having a local shop take a look at the motor. They told me the motor is:
1) running rich, they dont know why 2) ecu is spitting out a Map Sensor error They are suggesting I just get the wiring redone, where it is just a simple plug and play. Or I find someone with a working map sensor, and see if its just my map sensor that needs to be replaced. First of all, wiring is a complete mess. Whoever did the wiring did not solder or even use butt connectors, just electrical taped 2 wires together. If it's just the map sensor that needs to be replaced, that would be the cheapest option but I would probably run into more problems in the future just because the wiring is horrible. Question is: What should I do? (killing myself is not an option) -------------------- things happen for a reason.

thanks for the input
looks like the ic piping wasn't able to hold up to the pressure, and i found a lot of leaks including a significant leak near the bov. had the piping redone and attached a synapse bov (didn't like the way the hks sounded). motor seems to be running a lot better. tends to almost stall when gas is not being applied (hits 200-300rpm), then it jumps back to 1k at idle. hoping to get my hands on a safc and throw her on the dyno and get a real good tune. as of now, the car is sitting because of lack of time/capital. hopefully, when things settle down at work and i'm not running all over the place, i'll be able to give her some more attention. -------------------- things happen for a reason.
