Map is a 3 wire, air temp is a 2 wire, they aren't interchangeable.

Proper fuel map scaling is important for the bigger injectors, as well as timing. Is the tuner who is/has doing the tuning having trouble, or is this just you 'hoping' it will start with god knows what on the 'chipped ecu'?

Do you have fuel ? Do you have spark ? Do you have compression ? Only things you need to start an engine.

Man, if that's not a gross generalization, than I'm Bill Clinton.

OP.

What do you mean by the car is "not starting" besides the obvious.

Does it not crank what so ever. Does it crank and not catch at all. Does it crank, catch, and then stumble?

Check your grounds. Triple check all of your plugs. Etc etc etc.

Its getting fuel and spark so it has to be cranking, if its getting fuel and spark, then it must not have compression, or else it would kick over. Unless he has his spark plug order all wrong, injectors in the wrong order. If that was the case, he shouldn't be changing head gaskets.

And if your Bill Clinton , I'm gonna send you an IM to chat about somethings.
