June 11, 2004: It's alive!
Well, sort of. I powered up the engine computer last night and verified that the pressure sensor, temperature sensors and a few other bits are reading properly. So now I have a very expensive and cumbersome barometer and thermometer. I did have to do a little fine-tuning on grounds and I'm not 100% convinced the fuel pump is playing along correctly, but I'm making good progress. The potential to start the engine this weekend is good.
