Ok...guess I have it working so these are my readings:

While cranking:

AAC...................78RPM.................250O2.....................33Injector.............15.72A/F Base..........100Timing................20 during cranking, but 16 when key onDuty Cycle...........2.5Air Flow...............1.29 during cranking; .5 when key on

This is what I've noticed of the monitors at the bottom:

TPS and Fuel Pump respond to gas pedal when cranking (which is good).

A/F Ration stays CONSTANTLY Lean no matter what (even set up to 60psi Fuel Pressure)

Start signal stays CONSTANTLY OFF no matter what.........1/2vdc is measured on pin43 during cranking, and start signal will say ON if I apply 12vdc to pin 43

If anyone can see anything that is out of range, please let me KNOW!!!!

you are overthinking it.

air, spark, fuel, compression. thats all the engine needs.

check your plugs, see if they are wet. check for spark, etc.

dont rely on the computer or a data scanner to tell you anything. they wont help in this situation (usually)

Werd you can make the rb run with like 3 wires under the dash,you do need more but you can start it like that.

Datascan is more for tuning then anything...and it helps for setting timing and stuff too.

na, its for really advanced troubleshooting. like non-reproducable problems, and electrical abnormalities, etc. you cant tune anything with NDS.
