Update, I got the bluetooth adapter attached to the MS ECU and downloaded the Shadowdash app to my phone. Here are a few screen shots of the application when connected to the ECU. The car is off and a few calibrations still need to be done, but you get the picture.

Looking good,   I'm bummed I cant use Shadowdash with my I Phone.   It looks real handy.   I'm getting mine dialed in.   It will now start cold or hot without touching the throttle.

find yourself an old android phone that no one is using.

Looking good there Green

Btw, did you figure out your wiper motor/switch issue? The reason I ask is because the wiring I see in this pic doesn't look right.

You should have two pigtails coming off your harness (1 - goes to your resistor (brown wires) 2 - the Blue/Green/Red plug should go to the plug end of the motor.) It looks like you are jumping wires from one side of your resistor to the other? Anyway, sorry for noting it in this thread but just saw the pic.

yeah it actually works now. I cleaned all the contacts and buttoned everything up. After my ammeter / voltmeter lesson I put the dash back together and I think one of my issues with the switch was a ground.

So after you said something i went looking around. and yes you are right my red wires connect to the resistor.

So I looked for pictures of wire harnesses and I found both. Here is one with the red wires to the resistor and one with the blue/green wires. Also here is an up close of my motor. I'm going to post this in electrical to see what the everyone else thinks;.

Just an update on all that car us up and running now. The tuning is coming along nicely thanks to a little help from my friends. The wipers work too.  :2thumbs:

Good to hear.  :2thumbs:
Was planning on requesting a follow up on this.
My daughter is finishing up her school year. Should be able to get back on track with mine.
