You already have a base map.
MegaTune is EXTREMELY easy to work with. No way they have 5 hours in it without result. It tunes just like every other ECU out there. They shouldn't have needed more than 10 minutes to get themselves situated.
They are sort of correct when they tell you that there is no TPS signal. Your car does not have a linear TPS. They were not introduced until 1994.

That's correct-- your CAR doesn't have the proper type of TPS that he's looking for, and though it's nice to have it's not really needed at all. It does have a TPS, but not a linear potentiometer type like most cars have so you can't get a smooth 0-100% TPS signal from it. It's a simple on/off switch and therefore it's pretty much useless.
We spent about 5 hours tuning Ben's car to completion-- and we wasted alot of time as the dyno operator kept getting phone calls, we went out to lunch, etc.

sounds like the dyno operator is an idiot, you should really read up dick around and become familiar with what the megasquirt is doing before taking it to a dyno. There are quite a few different settings available and knowledge of the sort might save you (and the dyno operator) lots of time.

yess as we have all said it is calibrated for the sensors, And you do not have a real TPS that is why your tuner is having problem maybe most hondas have a real tps but we don't like i said in my first post move the tab for acceleration to 100% map and you will be fine. The system should have fired right up so long as all he changed was the required fuel. It seems like your tuner tryed to cowboy it and make his own map not knowing anything about miatas bad idea. The unit you where provided is 90% likely to be in perfect working condition esp with the base map provided and seting as provided. Any major departures by your tuner are rather stupid esp if he does not understand the software and hardware he is dealing with.
