Hi thanks for the reply

Originally the oil level sensor plug and map sensor plug were muddled up so replaced map sensor with another 4 bar sensor. She fired straight up. So I finished up all interior and roll cage came to start her and she just cranks and splutters.

I have just unclipped the map sensor and she will fire up and run really rich. Could I have damaged Ecu? With the original plug confusement

Is your calibration set up to use a 4bar MAP sensor?

Yes. It’s a bit calibration.

I can easily check though as still have the stock one

When I put my stock sensor in I will have to run a standard k20 boost cal.
How much fuel should I add for the extra displacement.

Thanks for the help
Gav.

You should discuss this with your tuner.

Luckily had a stock map sensor cal off vit. I know this sensor was good so we ran this. At idle the map sensor is reading 20psi so looks like eco is screwed.

My question is can you just kill the part of the eco that ready MAP

If i get a new ecu can they just be switched straight over or would i require key and barrel

Sorry about all the questions

Hi,
I will check it and tune it out if possible.

You need to try your ECU in a known working vehicle to see if it can read the MAP sensor correctly.
