Car won't start. Wierd sensor issue.
I posted in the PFC section about this but I was hoping to widen the pool of help so I'm posting here as well.
My car died at a local autocross last weekend and i can't figure out what's wrong. It will turn over but die immediately. I've checked the sensor read out on the PFC and they are way out of whack.
PIM 0.03
VTA1 0.01
VTA2 0.01
VMOP 0.00
I installed the stock ECU and it fires right up and idle ok. I've removed the airpump so it's not perfect but ok.
I tried replacing the TPS in hopes that it would make some difference but it doesn't. I've also tried disconnecting the map and tps to see if the reading change and they do read that they are disconnected.
I've also took the PFC apart to see if i can find any burnt areas but I don't see any.
Any ideas?

Both values will go from 0.01 to '0.04 from full closed to full open. If i take off the TPS I can get the larger value to go from .01 to .05 then it jumps to 4.98. With it off the smaller value will go form .01 to .05 then it will jump to 4.98 but I can get it to stop around 2.98 if I'm really careful. It still won't stay running at that value though.

Could also be wiring. Pull the plug to the TPS off, one of the wires should be a 5v input. Test it with both the PFC and the stock ECU.

What would cause this reference voltage to not be output by the PFC? A failed transistor or driver circuit? What would cause it to fail, a short to ground that caused too much current flow through the reference voltage output circuit inside the PFC?
I'm just tossing out ideas because I'm curious

Progress update: Got a new (used) PFC. Installed it. Car ran great. Today coming home from work it dies again. Same thing. Same from the sensors. I put in the stock one again and it started right up.
Does this mean I have a short? I take it I need to track down the short and get another PFC? How do you go about tracking down a short?
