Check you have 12 volts on the red and black, then check you have not dislodged the pin to the ecu in the ecu plug. Sometimes when searching and stripping the wire back it can be pulled back into the plug a little to much and cause a bad connection.

the car drives like when a few years ago on my other starlet i blew the dashboard electrics which i believe is inline with the map or maf sensor.

it coughed and farted and didnt go anywere with the hint of throttle ?

Check all the connections you were at, then remove the map sensor plug and see if it gets any better.

Is the check engine light on? Has the ECU stored code 31 or any other codes for that matter?

Can you get a video clip of the engine running, it would get you a little more assistance.

If your not sure how to upload a video via youtube, photobucket etc... email it to me at texx@toyotagtturbo.com

i just removed the plug from : sensor assy,turbo pressure,and the car stopped.
undid the other unit in the left corner of engine bay if looking at car and that didnt do anything(has to vacuum pipes going in)

i will do a video but i have a poo phone so dont expect to much.

With the engine idling, pull the spark plug leads off one at a time (if you've got some thick rubber gloves, put them on). If you pull a lead off and there is no change in how the engine runs, then you've identified a cylinder that's in trouble.

i have a 31 error code !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You've just disconnected the MAP sensor when the engine was running, so that's not surprising. Now reset the ECU (remove the battery negative terminal or the 15amp EFI fuse for 30 seconds), run the engine for approx 30 seconds giving it a few revs and then check for codes again.

im thinking the fcd killed it ?

its only played up since wiring in the fcd (from what i know 100% correct as i have checked over and over)
