Calculate -> Scripting ->

map_histogram(0) # or whatever your map number is

Do you see a sensible histogram?

If so, the problem is merely that you are looking at the wrong part of 
the cell or using the wrong contour level. Modern versions of coot go to 
centre of the cell if a model has not been loaded - this is usually the 
right place to find your molecule.
