I appreciate all the help.

Turns out I was wrong last night, I missed that the FI fuse was blown. I double checked everything and found it blown. Additionally, I do not believe that there is anything wrong with the pre-assembled MPGuino, although I do believe that the installation was the cause of the issue with the vehicle.
I suspect that the bypass hack has something to do with blowing the FI fuse (possibly a solution to blowing fuses?). I found that the FI fuse was not 15A, but 20A. There was also a 20A fuse in the A/C slot, I suspect that it is not in use and is intended as a holder for a spare fuse for the FI. I found a good 15A fuse in the glovebox, so the over AMP was intentional.
I will have to explore this more when I have the vehicle at home.
Again, I do not think that there is any issue with the MPGuino itself.
