what the hell just happened

im leaving the school parking lot today and my car starts idleing rough, no big deal i thought, because its been idleing low since the piggyback ecu went in. i pull into line and suddenly it dies on me. i start it again adn it quickly revs to 2k and dies again. i repeated this about 3 times before i popped the hood. nothing was clearly out of order and so i tried again. this time it stayed alive but woudlnt react to throttle. finally after about 30 minutes of staring at it, i decided to start it again. this time it ran no problems and i quickly drove to autozone to have my codes pulled. i had a sensor off from the o2 sensor (due to the downpipe) and another that my car was running too lean. i thought the ecu made your car run rich, which is leading me to wonder if it's injectors or am i just out of my mind?

My car ran like crap after I put on the RRM piggyback... turned out that one of my wires didn't' have a good contact.

Pull the piggyback and recheck your wiring. Wiggle everything around to make sure there is a solid connection. If your prob still persists, call RRM.

I would bet that you timing is off. it started after a few tries because you turned it back to top dead center
