note the caps. this is a serious discussion. Any spider pig / stripper references will be met with swift and terrible retribution.

Where exactly, would you hook a pressure sensor into if you were told to run the signal wire to the EGR input pin.

Josh gave me that to go on.

"Power grab from the throttle position sensor" - check.

"Ground it to the ECU ground." - check.

"Signal wire to EGR input." - fuzzy. "It should be pin 54, or so."

I've checked pin 54. it's not EGR related. it is on a 91-93 ish car, which may be what he's use to. (I've got a hybrid however.)

on my pin out, 73 or 74 is around the same spot as pin 54 on a 1st gen, and is used for the EGR temp sensor. This is not used for anything other than throwing a check engine light.

OR I could use pin 6, which is the EGR soleniod trigger... which I don't have anymore...

both seem to be the only EGR-ish type pinouts. neither seem to be a straight up "EGR input."

so...

wwgd? (what would greg do?)

and then, after I know which one to connect the what-cha-ma-thingy to, how many gregs do I torque it to?

serious business here.

Also, verfer, how did you get the dash board screen to come up on the AEM software.

all for now.

You can use the light green/black wire on the egr harness under the hood or pin 73 at the ecu.

Go to the tool bar - templates ->dash ->run

Matt is correct, pin 73. If you still have doubts, take your volt meter and do a connectivity check with misc ECU pins and the EGR pins under the hood till you find which ECU pin corresponds to it.

Hooked up to ECU ground (I think pin 25 or 29. Top right connector on bottom plug, black wire) with red or constant 5 volts to TPS (brown wire opposite wire 73) and signal wire hooked into 73 for EGR input the car started and ran for about 5 seconds.

slight blips of the throttle and it would chug before it just gave the f*ck up on running.

so that ain't right.

had to stop for the night because the plugs are done.

whiskey tango foxtrot.

Crank it over a while with the CAS disconnected. Get some oil on the rings so they seat better, and you get some compression.

will that trick still work with the AEM instead of the normal ECU, or should I pull the ECI fuse?

With no CAS signal, how will the AEM know when to fire the plugs and open the injectors?

Either or, doesn't matter.

sent a ECU chart with my hook ups to Josh, and he says that the pressure sensor is hooked in correctly... which is both good and bad news.

it means that I'm not a complete idiot... but it also means that something is still wrong with the car.

verfer, did you calibrate the TPS at all? I'm wondering if that needs to be done.

Other than that, I'm wondering if I have to calibrate the pressure sensor.

felt a bit under the weather this weekend, and still am, so I haven't tried messing with anything... (plus my computer is having fits.)

looking like it's flat bed time... or time to get josh out here...

No I did not calibrate the TPS.

I thought about it as you were reassembling the intake stuff, but forgot to check if it needed to be done.

I did check to see if the TPS function though. I believe it read approx. 0% at 0 and it increase when I pressed the pedal, but I didn't check if WOT was 100%.

The pressure sensor shouldn't need calibration I would think that is the purpose of the sensor wizard; you just select the sensor and it applies the correct look up table.
