Got out to my car this afternoon and tried to start it, but couldn't.  It was getting fuel and spark, and it hadn't been anywhere since I got it there this morning, so I know that it WAS working before.
I tried several times to get it going by fiddling with the MAP sensor itself, the wiring, the vacuum hose, hell even the mount that it sat on, just to see if it had any difference. Nothing. 
I sat in the car for about half hour trying to figure out what could possibly make it do what it was doing so soon after it was all re-assembled again. I kept going back to the MAP sensor, but not before checking over just about every electrical connection both in the engine bay and in the cabin. Disconnected battery, ECU, checked relays, fuses, etc.
Everything seemed fine, so I honed in on the MAP sensor once again. I disconnected it and checked the connections inside both of the halves of the MAP sensor (male and female side), and discovered that it had three pins in which it connected up to. Out of these three pins, only one (in the middle) looked like it could line up to make a proper electrical connection, while the other two (on either end) looked like they were recessed into the connector a bit, and needed a bit of prying out to get them lined up properly again. Reconnected the MAP sensor, hooked up the ECU and the battery, gave it a kick in the guts and it started and ran.
I'm still not 100% on the connector or the electrical connections inside, or indeed if the structural integrity of the wires leading to the MAP sensor are all that great, but with a minor adjustment I got it to run nice all the way home, without trace of the problems I had earlier.  
Rates about an 8½ out of 10 on my weird-shit-o-meter.
