See that little white plastic guy with all the blk/grn wires? I assume that's all 5v grounds. Do I need to find the wire in question from that bundle and take it to 2c, take 2c to the body, 2c to the engine, or just run a new wire to 2c?

You dumb ------. I went to the dyno yesterday and you better hope to fake god that I'm too busy working on my car to get pissed off about you typing to me like that on the forum.

Assuming you're right about that cluster of wires being your 5V ground (which I'm skeptical of) then that needs to get hooked to 2C/2D.

Notice how all the sensors come back directly to MS for their ground, they don't get grounded to the engine bay (unless that grounding point is taken back to MS and used only for 5V sensors)

Well, I soldered the TPS ground to pin2 on the DB37 and this is the miserable log I get.
Any other ideas before I forget about tracking this car on Saturday? It seems that no matter how hard I try, I can't ******* win on this car anymore.

I can tune EAE and not use TPS at all, right? Or I could set TPSaccel for 600%/s and higher and only use it for downshifts. Does Accel Pump rely on TPS values as well? I don't want to blow this thing up, but there has to be an easier way.

that cluster is all sensor grounds. all black/ lt green wires in the car are.
the accel pump threshold doesnt matter, if the table is zeroed out, then no corrections will be applied. Also, you can manipulate the table in such a way that you can set the threshold at 0 and still only -/+ fuel above your set threshold within the table. you would just have something like -10% =0 0% = 0 +10% = 0 then +20% = +8 or something, if that makes sense.
what does the TPSdot look like at idle? you could pull a few from your TPS lag factor number, in general settings, that increases the software damping/filtering of the signal. What firmware are you running?

VVT is "kicked-in" from 1800rpm on, but it sounds like an old Honda B engine. I tried a 25* range to get rid of the dip out of the VE table, but there was no success. From the driver's seat, you would not guess the VE table looked like that.
