You can fake that the battery is not dead by sending a 2khz (50% duty) signal to the ECM to allow lean burn even with a flat battery. The signal line is called QBATT, wire is pink.




EDIT:
If anyone here has a question about the inner workings of the electronics, feel free to ask. I've been in and out of the electronics many times. Built my own MIMA type system as well (don't have it in the car anymore though).
