As noted above, check the baseline settings and check your vacuum lines to the map sensor so make sure they are OK.

In addition, if the **** is not set to a level equal to or over 4 it will be "lazy" and it might take a while for the green light to turn on. If your tuner tuned the system with the **** on a lower setting, don't sweat it.

You might consider giving Julio a ring, hes a great guy to talk with and is sharp when answering anything and everything on his setup.

Try running a volt meter on the map output wire (usualy green), it should be somewhere around 2.5v with key on engine off.
