I had verified early on that the connections are securely in place.  The MAP readout on the EM2 is coming from the data feed from the EC2, so if the EM2 says 13” then ‘presumably’ the EC2 is using 13”.

Ok, forgot about you folks with your extra instrumentation.

I have not asked but presume you have tried the "B" controller.  In my case, it made no difference because neither pressure sensor were sensing manifold pressure.  But, if one is  connected then switch controllers should make a difference (if this is the problem).

I have not yet tried controller B.  I believe it is still all set to default settings.  During the relatively brief runs so far I have stayed with controller A because I made changes in timing, injector flow rates, mixture balance between rotors, and the mixture correction table, during the dyno runs.  I don’t want to abandon that as it was one of the main features of that test program – get all that stuff out of the way before I got it on the airplane.

Al, I don't understand your reluctance to switch to controller B just to check.  I am not suggesting changing any thing if you had it set up on the dyno, but it would elminate the possiblity that the problem is with  controller A.  Switching to controller B  will not distrube your MAP settings that you have with controller A.  They both have their individual MAPs.
