Default Turbo S2000 tune problem

My AEM EMS came back in the mail a week ago from AEM. They told me I had to load then tune back on for the car to work. I had my tuner e mail me the tune. I open the tune and it loads it on the EMS (I hope). I got the car started and it wouldnt stay on unless I gave it a little gas. While plugged in this it what comes up. The only thee things done sense the S2000 was driven last was re hooked up vacuum lines (correctly?) and put the GM 2 bar back on and the wide band is not wired up...

Kyle, looks like the aem software on your PC needs some tweeking to make things easier. First convert over to psi and looks like you need to convert the scale on the graph to read for a 3bar. 175kpa is like 25psi of boost. Could be something isn't hooked up right... Make sure you don't have the stock map and 3bar hooked up at the same time.

It is possible your map sensor input value is not defined, or your wiring is bad.

Open your calibration,

Setup -> Sensors -> Manifold Pressure Sensor -> MAP Options

Make sure your analog input is set to MAP Voltage, and your wiring is right.

The car is running poorly because the computer is getting an improper input signal, it is not AEM's fault.

u need to setup te AME for ur map sensor (also check the wiring to see if u didnt wire it incorrectly). with the Key on, Engine off, the engine load should be reading roughly 100 kPa. yours is reading 255.

It looks like to have to reset the AFR units as well. I don't know why you have to do this but go into Configure > Units > AFR units and set it for methanol. Then go right back into it and set it back to gas. I'll bet your AFR values come back to normal.

I tried changing it to other GM MAPs and it only got worse. one time it was reading 2220000 kPa!

AEM ems works perfect if you know how to use it....
Hondata K-PRO is much easier for the end user to use.

That is what every one says. Every one I know who has had both likes Kpro better. Even if they didnt have a problem with the tune.

check for wiring failure if thereis no ground on your map sensor the value will do the same thing as it seem to do in your case
use a multimeter and test the contunity
c17map signal
c7ground
c19+5v
