Here is what the inside of the MAC-10, MAC-11 and MAC-12 ECU's look like.
ECU Supply Voltage check and Pressure Sensor test If you have an intermittent running problem with excessive pinging and this is related to the dash boost gauge giving strange readings, the ECU internal pressure sensor may be having a problem. The ECU may store a 2222 fault code and the "Check Engine" light may also come on if the ECU pressure sensor is acting up. You should verify the hose from the intake manifold to the ECU is not leaking and make sure it has not come loose. If the ECU internal Pressure Sensor is not getting the correct boost pressure, the engine may ping very badly as the ECU will not know that it needs to retard the timing while under boost. With the ignition key on, but with the engine not running, you should see 0.9 to 1.0 bar on the dash gauge if you are near sea level altitude. The gauge reads out "absolute" pressure from 0.0 to 2.0 bar, above 1.0 you are seeing positive manifold pressure, i.e. turbo boost. You may also have a ground or +12V supply problem either on the engine or a problem with the supply power or ground to the ECU. You could also have a failure of the pressure sensor inside the ECU. If the dash problem is a separate problem and not related to the running of the car, it could just be a malfunction of the circuit board computer on the dash gauge pod assembly. You should check the ground wires that connect to the rear area on the intake manifold on the engine. Remove the bolt and make sure the threads are clean and re-tighten. The main ground strap on the engine down below near the left side engine mount should be checked as well. You should measure the +12V supply going to the ECU using a Digital Voltmeter. Pin 35 is the +12V supply, Check the voltage from pin 35 to both pins 18 and 9 as these two are the ground connections on the ECU. With the ignition key on, you should measure ~12-13 Volts across these pins. You may want to remove the one screw holding the ECU against the body and pull it out to make checking the voltages easier. Leave the ECU connector plugged in during the test. To check out the boost gauge signal coming from the ECU which comes from the internal Pressure sensor, connect a DMM across Pins 17 (+) and Pin 18 (-) and with the ignition key on, you should measure between 2.5 to 2.7 volts if you are near sea level altitude. This would correspond to a 0.9 to 1.0 reading on the dash boost gauge. These pins are the last two pins which are the farthest forward and next to the body when the ECU is mounted in the car. In other words, these two pins for the boost gauge output are ones hardest to get to. If you don't get this voltage reading then you might have a defective pressure sensor inside the ECU or a short between the ECU and the boost gauge assembly. If the wire from the boost gauge to the ECU is shorted, it should not really affect the operation of the ECU to control the engine, because inside the ECU this boost gauge output circuit is isolated from the rest of the internal pressure sensor signal used to control boost and timing. If you are really brave, you can remove the ECU cover and use a Digital Multimeter to test the pressure sensor. You want to see if it is getting a good + 5 Volt supply and see if it has the correct output voltage. There is a +5 Volt regulator inside the ECU that supplies power to this sensor and the other circuitry. Be VERY careful when probing around inside the ECU with the DMM. Pin 2 of the sensor is the +5V supply. The ground supply pin (19) on the pressure sensor is the one directly opposite Pin 2 on the other side of the pressure sensor. The sensor output voltage is on Pin 1. This sensor only uses three pins for operation, all the other pins are used to support the sensor and hold it off the circuit board. This sensor is used in the MAC-05, 07, 10, 11, 12, 13, and MAC-14 ECU's so this test can be used on these other ECU's. As mentioned before, with the ignition key on but with the engine off, the pressure sensor output voltage should be between 2.5 to 2.7 volts when the car is near sea level altitude. With a hand pump connected to the ECU sensor port, the sensor output voltage will rise up "close" to the 5.0 volt supply, (~4.95V) as the pressure applied is raised to 2.0 bar absolute. The stock dash mounted boost gauge will normally read up to ~2.0 bar, a few will read up to 2.1 bar but at that point it tops out and won't read any higher. the accuracy at this end of the range won't be very good. Here is a photo of the pressure sensor with the Ground, + 5 Volt and sensor output voltage connections marked.
