Check to make sure the MAP is plugged in. if it is reset the computer and see if the code comes back. If it comes back then you likely have a bad MAP, that's what the check engine light is telling you. Are you running boost?

yes I am running boost, but I have some kind of different map sensor. FYI I did have a vafc, and I took it out because I never could get the wires connected well enough to have it run without problems, would this be a result of my bad vafc install, perhaps maybe one of my ecu wires?
