That is the 4 pin connector for the EGR controller.

Thanks guys, no egr so no worries!

Got the fuel system powered up, lots of dirt so pulled the rail and cleaned everything out, reassembled and no leaks so one step closer.

Got a temp and oil pressure gauge hooked up, and a tach in case the dash one doesn't work. Getting really close to first fire!!!

Eric disables the EGR via his chip...so piss on it. One less vacuum leak.

Scanmaster question, got it hooked up, when I turn key to run it displays scan 2.2, then PL  24.8 then goes dark. The one in my other car will cycle thru all outputs. Is it a bad scan master, bad computer or something else. Wired into ground, keyed power and to orange wire on the diagnostic port under radio area.

Does the SES light up on the dash? Fuel pump prime? Check over your fuses

If it isn't hard wired then they'll do all kinds of dumbass shit.

Yeah that's why I ran the wiring the way I did so the power logger wouldn't be a Factor???

In a stand alone situation, I always connect it to the ecm end on the orange wire coming out of A8 on the ECM rather than the port under the dash.  I have seen problems reported at times from those that connected to the port end.

Also unplug the PL board and see if that does anything.

Does the PL work?  You may need to update the firmware on it also.

I believe to get data to the SM I need to connect the white wire to the remote board for the powerlogger and it will work....went to work on it tonight and discovered the gas tank has a pinhole under the strap. That sucks!! Mark put a brand new tank in and it never saw a mile and it has a hole. Looked on line and tanks range from $90 to $579....kind of a crazy price range! Kirban sells one for $349, I dont want to waste money but also dont want to cheap out and have a leaker in a few years.

Pulled the tank on mine and used long string fiberglass when I got a hole in it...worked just fine. Parts up here are scarce...and I wasn't willing to have the car down and miss a race.
