your pictures are giving me flashbacks:





I filled bags with unneeded wiring, weighed one bag that was just from wiring that came from the back half of the car (AAS, stereo, theft deterrent junk) and it was 5lbs, grocery bag filled.

I think i've tracked the problem down to the Tec unit itself, it controls the fuel relay so if that is messed up the pump isn't going to fire. I don't think i have spark either, just starter cranking. I tried to uplink to the tec monitor screen to see if the injectors are firing or what the starting advance is but it wouldn't connect. This is the first time this has every happened so the problem just be internal. It appears as though i may be making an unexpected trip to manassas tomorrow to rattle some cages, this being the only way to actually get someone to talk to you at electromotive.

i took my unit in today to electromotive, at first it did the same thing its been doing with me then it worked. I found out i need a new board but we got it working anyway. After driving 3 hours home (should have taken 90 minutes) i put the new working unit back in the car and guess what? now not working again. I am ready to give up and am already considering selling this thing. Can't even say how pissed off i am now, that is all. No bbq for me this weekend i guess.
