MS2 comes with its own MAP sensor soldered to the underside of the board. All you have to do is run a vacuum line from the intake manifold to the MS board. As for the IAC, you will have to stick with the stock IAC (and this isnt a problem with MS since it comes with the parts to do so) - unless of course you want to use the GM IAC and fabricate an adapter.
Read the MegaManual - its long but if you can read the entire thing, it will make sense: http://www.megamanual.com/index.html
Because MS is pretty universal (meaning to say it doesnt really matter what vehicle you put it in), it might be easier to find MS reviews and installation articles via a Google search.still would like to hear and comments or dislike or tips for this system
I think the primary reason is most Explorer owners do not have the need because either A) their vehicle arent up to the level where its needed, B) "tuner chips" are easier to install (and probably cheaper), C) the 4.0 OHV isnt exactly the best powerplant to build power from, D) MS doesnt know how to control automatic transmissions and most 1st gens (and Explorers in general) came with automatic transmissions, and finally E) "if it aint broken, dont fix it".I don't understand why more people especially first gen ex don't use it.looks like its a very popular set up when combined with the edis.
I never thought about the trans,how much is controled on a a4ld by electronics?
I think you need to define exactly what type of "wide range operating conditions" you have in mind - because MS has a customizable AFR ratio look-up table and can be coupled to a wide-band O2 sensor to ensure operation in varying environments. Don't get me wrong, as I've said, MS is not for a daily driver (lack of OBD2), but it can operate in whatever condition most of us would throw at it.The typical production vehicle in development is subjected to a vast array of test conditions to determine optimum air/fuel ratios and ignition timing. The knowledge from the testing is stored in the PCM in indexed data tables to maximize performance, engine longevity and fuel economy while minimizing pollution. Establishing the optimum A/F ratio and ignition advance at WOT requires significant testing but is a trivial task when compared to optimization for a wide range of operating conditions.
