Steve...what ECM and pedal are you using?

Also, it sounds as though you might have the wire that needs to have constant 12v in crank AND run incorrect. Maybe double check that you have 12v + with ignition on and at crank. Just a thought.

You're welcome to borrow an 11 Corvette E38 that is known to work if you feel like coming to grab it. I just need it back by the 21st as I have it for sale. I'm near 13000 S Torrence Chicago.
