I would imagine that the car is running piggy rich? If unhooking the VAM had zero effect on how the car ran, then it obviously isn't functioning. If it isn't functioning the computer has no way to meter air coming in, and will dump in too much fuel.

Yea it's definitely running rich, didn't get to test and see if it was just stuck yet or not gettin power, I figured it would make a difference just wanted to make sure..I may have finally found the long lost problem!

You figured out the lost problem just in time to make it disappear with Stinger's PiMP! You are really going to enjoy the MS system. Has a bit of a learning curve, but I would never go back.
