I've have just about everything figured out with my car. The only major problem is that when we go into kpro, and set the map bar sensor to stock, it doesn't start at all. But when we change the map bar, to a 3 or 4 bar, it starts up fine. Any ideas? The only thing left to take is a moderate exhaust leak from the turbo.

The car won't start when the map sensor is set to stock.

Bump for help, its pretty much the only thing keeping my car in the garage.

Are you sure that it has a stock map sensor? Why not just set it to 3 bar map and run it like that?

I'm also not sure that it's reading correctly. At idle it reads -8, instead of about -24. Also yes, I've been turboed for a little while and have data logged and it doesn't read more than 10psi. Maybe it's fried? I just don't want to replace it, and then have it be something else. What should I be looking into for an upgrade? The hondata 3bar? I don't plan on boosting more than 12 or 14psi any time soon. I've just installed a stage 4 comp clutch along with a k24a1, so maybe down the road.
