hey bud, start your own thread instead of repeatedly posting about the same problem in multiple threads if you are that concerned with it. Like I said to the guy who started this thread :

if it's not a connection problem, rrm will straighten it out for sure. just call them

RUn it. The CEL will turn off. IT is not a problem. OR call and ask for ROB.

IF it sputters the ncheck connects. We installed one at our shop yesterday and messed up too. IT is quite possible. My guy told me he hooked it up right, insisting. I insist harder though. HE came back and said you were right. The power wire was loose. After that car ran great!

The red one but the point is that people are installing them used, buying the one that is not compatible wit htheir car, no instructions. If you bought it new from us then give us a call. You are doing something wrong. 90% oof you guys have no problems and we have not seen a single bad box in over 2 years.

yep....ive given up on the piggy.... ive tried countless times to try to get it working right.... still misfires. and i know its not my car because when i take it off the piggy it runs great. ive had multiple friends check it themselves see if i did it right and they agree its on there right. i mean how hard could it be its only 5 wires... SO i think the piggy might be for something else or mapped wrong.

IF you bought it new from us in the last couple months, call me. It may just be something that happens when you connect the piggy but not the piggy. Does that make sense?
