IAT and CLT are reading 170°

I read online this is a short to ground and I dont even know what that means and why both would be doing that at the same time. both are plugged into relay board.

Does this problem happen on the car only, or does it also happen on a Stimulator?

Check #17 in the V3 Troubleshooting section It describes your problem and its cause.

well, I dont know what I did, but I went back and reconnected the ecu to relay board cable, removed the tach wire- which was connected to the ecu but not going anywhere lol, and charged the battery.

when I went back to start it, everything was reading FINE yay.

except the 02 sensor(hello- this thing is wack) it seems to be reading but then it wont go below 12.10 afr. I dont know if this is a known problem but I can post a log if it would help

oh, this is the engine starting on a base tune. I just had tuner studio adjust the injector open time and changed nothing else and it fired up. its pig rich but its amazing that a base tune would fire my 468 engine and now the 325

With the LC1, you can check what it is reading with LogWorks. Are the LogWorks readings the same as what MegaTune is showing?
