Angry Code 5 HELP :(

Ok i got a code 5 after installing a new manifold and cat which means i had to relocate the O2 sensors. After it was done im throwing a code 5 five seconds after startup, which is MAP sensor. I have tried putting in a good sensor with no such luck, and have taken the throttle body off and cleaning the passage out...and again im getting the code. Now my question is, can this code be related to the O2 sensors? I dont know what to do next and its pissing me off Any HELP... PLEASE and thank you

have u tryed to reset the computer to see if it pops up again?
aslo did u discounect the bat before u did the install?
are all the wires and sensors pluged in properly?
what year is your car?
I have the hondata software and scanner at home so if you want to come by we can scan it to get a better location on the problem if u like.
also is the car driveable?

When you relocated the o2 sensor, did you cut the wires? If so did you do it between the sensor and the connector? If you did then that can cause a problem......the o2 sensor reads/uses the resitance in the wire between the connector and the sensor, if this was cut, it just changed the reading, which is one way you can be having a problem.

Try your computer in a different car... if it throws a code 5 in the other car, you cooked your computer. Any vacuum leaks?

don't just buy a new computer... that's the LAST possibility. at least test it out first.

are you OBD2 or 1? I mean, did you convert one way or the other?
