Default Is my GM 3 Bar dead?

Just getting around to buttoning up this car before I take it to the dyno. It's your cookie cutter vitara single jingle build.

Car was running fine on stock P28 with stock injectors and stock map sensor.

I put in a xencron basemap to match my setup, 600cc injectors and a GM 3 bar. Car cranks up and runs but not well, if I blip the throttle it stumbles and falls on its face, even cuts off sometimes.

Injectors are firing fine so I tested the GM 3 bar, it's getting a good 5v reference but the output voltage is all over the place so I suspect that this is the problem.

Please look the video below and let me know what you think:

Sorry for the sniffling, I have a bad cold.

Contact Xenocron and ensure that the basemap is specific for a GM 3bar map sensor and not one from another company.

Does the output voltage really vary from a oem gm 3bar versus aftermarket?

Not necessarily the output voltage itself, but the stability and consistency of the village reading on OEM is much nicer from my experience.

what in the hell was that? lol. I've never seen voltage do that before, especially considering it's a 0-5v sensor. I actually didn't expect to see anything like that and don't quite know what to say at the moment. I'll check back if I think of anything
