Make sure that your vacuum hoses and plumbing are EXACTLY as the FSM shows and dictates. If you have vacuum leaks or if the VCV signal or ALDA boost signal are missing, the blue UFO won't work properly.
The way i've been thinking of it is this...

The UFO is the recipient of the primary 22 HG source signal, and then it utiizes that full 22 HG and custom attenuates it into two actions get dispersed from it..

1 - the fundamental transmission shifting quality is directed by one "output" of the UFO, but to follow the throttle this very signal is then modified by the VCV with a linkage controlled leak

2 - the ALDA / turbo boost is directed by another "output" of the UFO. But this i don't have a grasp on yet

But what you're saying is that the whole interworkings have a more complex balance and interdependency than this. But still i don't understand how there could possibly be a vacuum signal at the VCV if it isn't the UFO that's giving it to it. In other words, i blame the UFO for the VCV not having signal. But maybe it's one step further and something on the opposite side of the UFO from the VCV is leaking vacuum and thus the UFO is bled of it's pull and has no pull to create signal in the VCV.
