So stoked about today's progress! Had issues yesterday but everything was all sorted this morning.

I'm very surprised how easy it was to get the engine started and idleing. I figured with the cams I have, ITBs, lightened flywheel, and useless basemap, we would have issues with getting it to idle. It idles around 1000RPM when warm, cold start it sits around 600rpm although very rough.

The fuel pump was having issues because I wired my relay incorrectly. It was wired for a ground trigger from the ECU, and the DIYPNP outputs 12V trigger. So picked up a new transistor from RS Components for 35cents and rewired the relay.

It wasn't registering cam/crank signals because I installed some resistors in the DIYPNP that didn't need to be there. There only used for VR type sensors.

And TPS was fluctuating because my MTX-L was grounded with the ECU. It created noise but gave identical AFR values as Tuner Studio, so I grounded it elsewhere and solved the TPS issues but now my AFR values don't match.

Sweet, but thats why the LC1 and guage combo is recommended.

Was thinking about adjusting the wideband curve in Tuner Studio, do you think that could do it?

Just out of curiosity are you using the voltage output or the serial off the mtx-l? Did you end up grounding it off the motor?
