hey ass, lets try this for getting the tach to read correctly (i am doing it with version 2.5, so DOWNLOAD NOW 
)
open it up first and get the engine running, then
1. on the top menu bar, move the mouse over the "display"
2.scroll down to "show options full list display"; click; a new window opens
3.go to the new window, and scroll down till you see "Tacho Freq In", "Tacho freq out", and "Tacho M"; mainly going to be playing with the "Tacho M" here; also you probably will have to repin the wiring also [to one of the PW? ones more then likely], so the tach is connected to an output listed under the "tacho freq out"
4. once the wiring is repinned, lets start playing with the setting in the "tacho M" bar; lets change that to 200 (acually i changed my mind, just start changing it in increments from it's original number; 137 here; basically you are just going to trail and error till you get the correct value necessary
, so you do not overdrive the tach "right out of the box", to start with, and then go from there, and change it as necessary while the engine is running in order to get the tach to read correctly

EMS2.
I know what it will take to get it to work and Im prepared for it.

found the actual part. It wasn't cheap, but I said fuck it, I'm still a novice at wiring and prefer not to hack away at the wiring harness without professional help. I ordered the part today so it should be here within the next few days. For the information of everyone else, it's number 25 and it's located in the "5AT Left Cover" section.

the park/neutral safety switch
it basically tells the ecu what position the shifter is in on the auto
all it does is ground the particular wire to ground...
also i forgot, but i remember you mentioning richie's module being installed or something... (or is the wiring for it, just currently installed for it); if so before you ever install that switch (and basically buy it), need to look at the wiring for the module...

The module isn't there anymore. That's what I've been doing, instead of removing the module, I just replaced the whole engine wiring harness and started fresh. So I'm assuming that the switch should allow it to start and run for the time being.

Got the part today..... the car cranks over, (which is farther than earlier) but no ignition. It might be the bent fuel line, I tried to disconnect the fuel line for the time being when I was working on the wiring harness and it bent. So i'm trying to find a replacement for that but not sure where it is in the parts breakdowns.

a bent fuel line should just starve the motor of fuel, but it should still have spark/ignition though
and you have the auto ecu in? along with the auto crank sensors?

I don't know man, the car hasn't ran since november so I don't even know if there would be fuel in the cylinders to spark it off. That line is really bent.
and yes, I tried both stock auto ECU and even the AEM ECU and yes, auto cam and crank sensors.

You said no spark..., but yes it more then likely won't run with the line like that though
And as far as running, mine would not rev past 5k with riches module, but other then that with the dash light up like a Christmas tree, along with the speedo not working, it ran fine
First thing is take a plug out,ground the threads to the engine with a jumper wire,and push the coil back on, and basically have someone crank the engine while you watch for spark. Is there spark? If so reassemble
Next once you fix that line, does it have fuel pressure, or you at least hear the fuel pump turning on, after that are the fuel injectors firing, if you have spark it should be firing the injectors...
So let's start with the basics

I got out of class early today so I came home and tried working on a few things here and there. I was able to get the old fuel pressure regulator and hose off there, but I'm having problems with the B-nut on the fuel pipe that hooks up on the new fuel line. It's almost like it's seized on there. Do I need to do anything special? I don't want to muscle fuck it and strip out the b-nut.

a flare wrench works wounders on not stipping that "nut" off
and to get it lose, sometimes you have to be willing to hit the end of the wrench worth your hand or so, to help "crack" it loose
and luckily by the looks of it, your car is not very "rusty" which is good, so it should come off easier
edit: also bolt it back up to the car, so it does not move around when you are trying to crack that nut loose

I got a 14mm flare nut wrench, looks like that will make that nut my bitch. The guy at autozone said Pb Blaster is better, but I forgot I already have that at home. So if there is daylight when I get home and it's not raining, I'll try it tonight.

^ Hes running the auto harness and sensors, so there really isnt any correlation between this working on his car and the EMS2 working on your car.
yeah soaking it in PB should also help break it free

Do you smell fuel when cranking? I'm guessing you do.
Do you have spark? I'm guessing you don't. Check your driver side cabin fuse for IGN COIL, it's a 15a fuse and if you plugged the EMS in without loading the calibration properly, it would be the first one to go.
My car is running on the series 2, albeit not very well, but it's running. This unit requires absolutely nothing but plugging in and going, so if you have problems, it is something related to your harness/sensors.
