Buly,

Here is a website that was started with that intention (trouble/best 
practices, etc).  I would think we could easily add a section under 73-Fuel 
& Control to cover any of our EC2 related difficulties.

I also had the same trouble (and symptoms) which lead to discovering I had 
installed the EC2 board rotated in its case such that the manifold rubber 
tubes were merely stuck under some components.  This made them feel like 
they were on the barbed hose connector of the pressure sensors - but after 
much concernation (and bothering Tracy - who suggested the lack of MP as the 
problem) - I bit the bullet, and crawled on my back and started taking the 
board out of its case (to ship it back to Tracy - sound familiar?) when much 
to my embarrassment I discovered theproblem.
