Default ECU Tech savvy heads needed !!

my ecu is throwin a Code 3 which the helms book says "An electrical problem in the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor system." anybody have any idea why this code came up.
im also running a fields vtec controller, but it is hooked up correctly so i wouldnt think its a factor.

Make sure the MAP sensor plug is connected.

What motor/ecu are you using? Are you boosted?

Was it working before you installed the fields?

details details...

the plug is connected, i cleaned it n everything.
as for motor, its the stock z6 w/p28 ecu and no boost.
i bought the car with the fields installed already, but there is this clicking sound that comes from the engine. sometimes the RPM drops well below 400 rpm's and occationally the car dies when in put it in neutral. thats when the check engine light comes on. hope that info helps

try switching map sensors with a friend and see if that fixes the problem.

LOL, I had this EXACT problem Friday night. The Fields was working fine (except for VTEC engagement point which I didn't hook up) for months with crimp connectors.

Threw code 3. Removed the fields and the problem went away.

Reinstalled Fields but soldered this time. But I don't even use the a/f settings to I didn't hook those back up.

FYI, if you are using the Fields to remove the Speed Governor on a JDM ecu, just hook up the VSS wires. That is what I am doing now.

The Fields is a POS. But I will always use it as long as I am using this JDM ecu, just to remove the speed governor.

It's been over a week now since I turned the Fields off. Did a valve adjustment as well and the car runs fine without no hesitations, but.... that damn knocking/clicking sound still exist (around 2500-3500 rpm's) Could it be my injectors going bad? FAWWWWWKKKKK this is unbareable!! i need to fix that sound, so my mind can rest in peace. Anybody got any ideas on what is causing this knocking/clicking sound ?? HELP..HELP....help......................help plz
