Default Collins Monitor Oddness

Right - got the Collins hooked up to the P8 now. It says no errors detected on the errors page, but just with the ignition on and the engine NOT running it reads 0.97b for Boost (if i unplug the MAP sensor plug - it reads 3.97b and does not give me an error) and 65795rpm for Revs!

Also another weird thing is that if I unplug the Crank sensor it comes up with 'CAM' on the errors page.

I have a Pectel Board with ALS, Dizzyless and Coilpack enabled.

Anyone shed any light on this before I call Collins?

Forgot to add that the COPOT reading is +128! In the instructions it says the P8 should be 000 as it has no CO Pot... odd, as my P8 does have a CO Pot!

The boost thing is normal. Your map sensor is reading the normal atmosheric pressure outside of 1 bar at sea level. Hence a 3 bar map sensor used to run 2 bar of turbo boost.

The CAM thing is normal for that sensor too if I remember from my old one.

Sounds like its working fine.
