Thanks a lot Phil,
I'm trying to save money and you're obviously trying to get me to blow a bunch more. Good to hear about the EFI. I was wanting to hear some reviews. I'll PM you later and we can discuss sometime

You'll surely pick up a ton of torque in the lower two thirds of the power band with the EFI as well, as you'll have better fuel, spark, and cam control.
I've enjoyed mine thoroughly and you don't have to go to a certified uni-chip tuner to tinker with it. Drivability is fawless from start up to shut down (that doesn't come automatically, you have to tune for it and/or get a base map, which is easy enough), with or without the A/C on, etc. I've riden in a uni-chip car and incidentally it was having similar wiring gremlins that you're having. His was in the MAF wiring as we found out. In any event, you'll ditch the MAF all together and run on MAP, which is pretty cool as well. You'll also have a post intercooler MAT sensor so you can dial in some additional engine protection as your charge temps increase... Really cool stuff and not complicated once you get the hang of it...
Happy to help in any way that I can should you go down that path. What year is your car?...Most will tell you that if you get me on the phone, I'm lible to not let you off of it, so be sure to have plenty of minutes if you call
Best,
Phil
