so i was drivng, all of a sudden, the car bogged, i managed to get it home, when i slowed down to park the car, the car wont hold idle, and just wanted to die, when i start it, it wont catch.



fuel pressure is good, pinned at 40psi, plugs are fairly new.



right now im letting the engine cool down a little so i can take the plugs out and check for pulses.



any other suggestions?

replaced plugs, check some wires and unflooded the engine which wasnt flooded....

then, did a pulse check on each rotor, and then both at the same time, i got very even strong pulses from the leading holes.

while i was sitting in the car trying to notice the gauges and on the commander i had +0.25 of boost..... checked the gauge in my boost controller and my mechanical gauge in the car.. and both go into vaccuum.



the problem is



i need a new MAP sensor

I've got a MAP sensor new from Mazda, but it's very pricey. I'll look around for a used one.

Go in to the power FC menu and check the map sensor setting... I have had it for no reason change the option setting by it's self...

I can't remember what you had for sure, but if you have a 3 bar sensor for the boost kit then set it to option 1...
