mpguino install

Well excited got my mpguino in and blah reading are off bad. I have a 92 accord sedan with the pt6 ecu manual shift.

Im getting reading on it but the rpm/speed is way off and the mpg coming off of it are reading at 00.90 something, never goes over 1.0 and rpm is off by about 500. Im guessing the vss and injector wires i installed wrong or something since there all off. Idk what do you guys think, dont wanna get a new tank of gas till I have this figured out.

From what I read from others the orange wire at the ecu is the vss wire to tap into (maybe ill solder the actual wire to it, right now its spread and wire thru the hole). Brown wire on a1 is my injector lead. Any assistance guys be much appreciated.

After further researching i think my wires are right, think my calibrations are extremly off. I just followed another accord guy with his number that were accurate per him.

settings
VSS: 8208
ms/gal: 196692124
tank: 17.1 gal or 17100

does speed read 0 when standing and goes gradually bigger when accellerating?
similar to injector: gallons/hour reading goes bigger when revving engine?

RPM value should need only one parameter for calibration - "Pulses/2 revs" - I had to set it to 1 (default is 3) because RPM showed 3 times bigger revs

stays at 5 or 7,then when i acclerate goes up and when shifting drops down and then goes goofy and reads very low

lol btw i need to take a pic of it for ya, for right now i love it just gotta try and calibrate the actual mpg which will take a bit but wanna figure out this speed and rpm

just droped the rev to 1 and its reading accurate rpm now, the speed still sitting at 5 when i start the car, i rev it and it climbs strangely. Is there another calibration I need to look for that?
