    thank you for the reply, I'm going to buy a higher quality bleeder and try, The fluid in still topped off and I had not added or removed any other than maybe some air from a chinese clutch/brake bleeder.

    I'm not quite understanding your question in full, but being an owner of a VRT with an OBD2 ecu, I believe it would be possible to run the ecu as it is now, to an extent. It depends on what the ECU is programmed for exactly (not familiar with your exact ecu), as long as the wiring loom, maf, and tb are being read correctly by the ecu, then you should be ok to run it with how it sits? The CEL could be blinking/flashing constantly if it doesn't like something. I hope this helps somehow, from what I can recall, the MAF was always the pain for me, since ecu UPGRADES are still running on the stock
