Buly,
Here is a website that was started with that intention (trouble/best practices, etc). I would think we could easily add a section under 73-Fuel & Control to cover any of our EC2 related difficulties.

I also had the same trouble (and symptoms) which lead to discovering I had installed the EC2 board rotated in its case such that the manifold rubber tubes were merely stuck under some components. This made them feel like they were on the barbed hose connector of the pressure sensors - but after much concernation (and bothering Tracy - who suggested the lack of MP as the problem) - I bit the bullet, and crawled on my back and started taking the board out of its case (to ship it back to Tracy - sound familiar?) when much to my embarrassment I discovered theproblem.

I was going to suggest this to Tracy, to ease his load on the phone calls. But I know how busy he is, so maybe we can create the database. Everybody here once in a while comes against problem that takes (sometimes) weeks to solve. If all that is reported with simptoms and solutions found, maybe next time we can look it up there before calling Tracy?
Latest example:
After getting my updated EC from Tracy I had hell of a time for couple of months. Engine was hard to start, very rich, fouling plugs. I returned it to Tracy and he found nothing wrong. One day after starting it by using starting fluid, I noticed my MP reading stuck on 29.8. Ahaaa! Started looking and found a MP hose fitting disconnected. The EC was reading full throttle and was dumping fuel accordingly, plus the fuel press. regulator was increasing the FP.
If we had a Q&A type list maybe I would have found it much sooner?
What do you think?
Buly
