Angry MAP Sensor problem with HP Tuners

My MAP sensor is not reading in HP Tuners it just sits at a constant value and doesn't move at all. I tested the sensor with a voltmeter and it read and worked as normal. from terminals A-C it read 5.02v and from B-C terminals it read 4.84v with ignition on and then 2.2-2.3v with car idling, just as it should! But it does not read in HP Tuners and im wondering if my engine PCM is reading it or not. anyone have any similar problems or have any advice? Thanks...

EDIT: my timing advance is doing the same thing. just sits at one constant value and doesnt change at all.

i just emailed HP Tuners support...

also, with the key on.. the MAP reads 101... then when you start the car it goes to a random number like 65 or 90.. and just stays there until you turn the car off again.. and it goes back to 101....

Sounds like either a pcm or wiring issue to me.

Are you by any chance using one of the custom
multi-bar OSes? I don't know much about V6es but
see the hairdryer in your .sig picture. On the V8
multi-bar OSes there is a special MAP PID added
that you should look at instead of the regular. Can
you display MAP voltage in the scan tool?

If you can read the voltage, then the problem is narrowed down to a setting in the scanner.

also i was getting the p0121 code but changed my max and min to 100 and 0 so now that went away. i read a little bit on how having a cam can sometimes effect that tps 0121 code.. i could try another TPS? would a bad TPS cause the MAP to be reading a consistent kpa??

also getting P1374

If the scanner can't see the real MAP voltage I'd
be looking for a wiring fault, chase the +5V and
GND all the way to the sensor, and the MAP
output all the way back to the PCM connector.

its weird. it reads it as the car is being turned on and off but only momentarily then it sits at a constant value..

my car wont even start now. just cranks and cranks but wont turn over.

EDIT: tried a new ICM today also and still nothing.
