After trying a MAP ECU, MAP ECU 2, and re trying the vpc, i went with the AEM and no luck until decided to rewire my original engine harness, thanks to many of you guys for the help, we finally got the car to start. It just needed some adjustments and to make sure all the sensors were reading correctly. So we got it to start COLD which is the amazing part, needs a little bit of open throttle at the beginning but other then that it'll idle on itself and sounds pretty good.

Here's a link to the vid(s).

Starting cold, today the weather was in the 30's, thinking the garage was around 40.



Some idling and some revving.

Hopefully the engine will be getting rebuilt soon.

Good job Emp. I know you're glad to get it running again. I can't stand it when my car isn't running. That's all the motivation I need when it's down.

LOL kool. I hope to be up by may also,but you never know with the gremlins and all. My goal this time is at least 520hp to the wheels, 474 was so close, oh and my 8 year old is no longer allowed in the car without me to watch, so i don't have a repeat of last year.:3d_frown:
