Tried to start for first time = no go
Ok, so i finished installing my megasquirt today and attempted to start it up.. All it did was crank and crak.. i noticed a few things..
The reading in megatune was pegged at 28 while it was just sitting there and while i was cranking, however, when i slowly pressed the gas pedal it went down to 17.something..
One more thing, my kpa reading was like 87 or someting really high, and when i pushed the pedal all the way down it went to 97 or whatever, but shouldnt it be reading like 20kpa or something?

do you have any spark? which directions did you follow....
to test for spark, take off plug #1, stick a wire in it and put the other end about an inch next to anywhere it can ground to. try to crank it and watch for spark...

I have a question.. i dont know if this has anything to do with this or not.. but can anyone tell me if this little connector is stock or not? When i bought the car it had some kind of aftermarket alarm system..
The car was running fine before i squirted it but still just wanted to know if it was stock

Well those wiring directions are for a '90 model not a 94 or whatever you have so no they're not correct for your use.
Is that MS wired for the DIYautotune mods or Kags mods?
You can get the appropriate wiring harness color coding from http://www.madracki.com/miata/wiring.html if you haven't already.
