Finished my t3 kit the other day. Tackled the MS install last night, it is communicating with my laptop just fine.
Right now, I am just trying to get the car to idle and cruise. ( I need to drive it Baltimore today to get to my hotel for the Import Alliance meet tomorrow)
Yes, I fail for waiting last minute, but hey, this setup will be legit.
Stock injectors still in car, (I have for 460's but that can wait: I just want to idle and set timing so i can drive the dang car)
Car primes fuel pump, cranks, air to fuel are lean to rich for a second. No clue what I can try, waiting on braineack to message me, as we are diagnosing the problem. It's also my fault because I told him I was running the 460's so the loaded map wasn't working with the stock injectors. I cannot find "req_fuel" to save my life. MS newb here all day.
everything is hooked up properly.
Thanks for any input.

I'll edit origianal post. I was by no means saying it was your work. I don't even know how to get to the "req_fuel" I scanned all of MS last night and this morning looking for it. Some leads to this will be awesome, google didn't do it for me.
I can't wait to see this car in action

wait what??
yeah i know its in engine constants
what i am saying is after punching those numbers in the calculator on tunerstudio for required fuel on the stock injectors i got 11.2
those numbers i put up are the numbers i put into the calculator
i see you reccomended 12.4 for the required fuel.
edit: oh wait my bad
you two talking about the 1.8
i see he has a 2000
sry

I don't believe so. Almost positive I don't at all.
I've googled for a bit and see that it has something to do with the CAS.
Can't figure out a way to to test this as I am electronically inclined. But I have a friend 20 minutes away that knows his ****. I'm just hoping I can change some settings and get the car started.

Only have a jump box (not to charge, and it also is losing charge every attempt I make at starting) for my battery which died on me yesterday morning. I do monitor TS when cranking and I know the rpm does not work. I checked just a bit ago when I altered the req_fuel. Like I said, no spark at all and I know this is holding me back from the "fun" stuff.
I can't datalog as I did not buy the $50 crap off of the site. I'm wondering if it is worth it; the ve analalyze live "autotune" and datalog part of it. Insight on that would be cool, although I'm pretty sure I can handle air to fuels on my own.
How do I get the RPM to be sync with TunerStudio??
That's where I'm at right now, one thing at time.
edit: Got megalog viewer, I don't know where I saw it for $30, but I have it now, downloaded for free. Would my battery dying kill off spark/ rpm not reading though?

I'm a noob at this standalone deal. But i've tuned cars with afc's and the like in my past. I just want to be "RUNNING" and I should be cake after that. Megalog viewer was free.
and I've heard good and bad things about ve analyze, but I may purchase it if Tunerstudio defeats me.
Props to you on fine tuning already though

yeah I was relieved to pull the plugs out and see no spark when I did. (not "relieved" but glad to know what the problem was)
I sent the MS back to Brain for a lookover. There's really to plug this bad boy in wrong. 3 harness clips to the ecu, wideband connected, and a vacuum line. Hoping to be "fine tuning" friday night if not saturday. My car didn't get to make import alliance, and now looks like I won't make H2O either :( but life will go on.
