so i was playing around with my ign timing on my S2 AEM EMS and almost had the timing dialed in to start running, then all of a sudden all the sensors on the 5v system showed the wrong figures.

my MAP sensor, throttle position, coolant temp, air temp sensors, are all showing really low volts :confused:

i got no spark, and no inj.

i unplugged all the messed up sensors and checked the voltages, and none of them had anywhere close to 5v (battery is charged btw).

here is a pic of the voltages on the EMS

is there any way of figuring out if i shorted something out or shorted out ALL the sensors, or the EMS itself?

i tested pin # 48 (AEM tech line told me to do this) off the ECU plug and it read 0.00v :confused:

what is my next move?

*EDIT* all fuses are good as well

That's not what I wanted to hear :( lol

If I got a new EMS, wouldn't it just short out as well?

make sure there is no short in wireharness before you get new ecu. happened to a maxima and intrepid i had at the shop did same thing.
tps coolant temp and 4 others went to full output 100% or 5v .

Just confirmed that it's the EMS. I checked the voltage at my MAP sensor with the AEM, read .13v. Plugged in my power fc, 5.1v...

Damn...
