Wow dude..surprsied to hear about the problems..but than again..i have heard lots of sob stories about the emanage!
Why did you have to mess with the wiring? With the mpi unit..we have a wire that comes out of the unit..which i plug into my laptop..for easy tuning! You should invest in one..if you stay with the protege!
AWD Van..that's funny...you should check out a ford turbo diesel..crazy TQ #'s!
Good luck and keep us upto date!
