3sgte help, running rich, map sensor error Options

[markie]

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)

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.

You need to recirculate that bov back into the intake between the AFM and the turbo. Its not made to be vented and thats why you are having the stalling issues.

Any long term problems for not recirculating? I am planning on changing my bov, any suggestions?
