Dennis, welcome to the NOP zone :). Looks like your EM2 and the EC2  
do not fully communicate. Check all your pins. All it takes one that  
does not make good contact or maybe bad ground.
If your MAP reads 29.9 all the time (been there couple of times) your  
engine will run rich and foul plugs. The EC2 sees high MP and  
supplies fuel accordingly.
Check all your MP hose connections and make sure you are plugged in  
the right sensor. I had mine slipped out, but looked perfectly OK  
untill I touched it. Next time i had hose split going over the hose  
fitting. Get a vacuum testing pump and do leak down test. It should  
hold vacuum, or you can use mouth to hose test and watch if the MP  
changes on the EM.
Good Luck :)
