I have an 02 S2000 and I'm connecting the EMB via the Boomslang Harness. Every time I turn the key to ON it pops the 15 amp fuse for the ignition. I put in a 25 amp fuse and the car barely runs then stalls.

I then have to remove the Boomslang Harness to get the car to start because it has flooded the engine with gas.

I am running a blank map and the previous owner had a S2000 that was N/A also and he said he didnt have any issues.

Any comment are greatly appreciated.

Double check your jumpers and rotary switches.

Thanks for the quick reply Dzaster.

I took the unit apart and this is what I have found.

The jumper settings for VTEC page 15 of the manual are set properly.

The rotary switches are 2 - 8 - A

The S2000 uses a Coil on Plug so it should be 4 not 2.

After posting the info here http://www.diytuning.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2231#post2231

I changed it to 4-8-C

I will hook it up tomorrow and see if it pops the fuse still.

The CPU is set to H1 but I'm not sure if that is correct either.

Well I got it running.

The info I posted in the other thread helped out.

Now I just need to get some AFR readings and start tuning.

That's good news. That info you posted was beefy and I'd think its something we'll wanna eventually make more accessible/visible.
