It because your car is white Dan

If you unwire everything how does the car act?

I don't have much experience with an AFC on an S2000, but when I installed an AFC on my old GSX and in a couple of my friends supras we had to put in baseline values before we actually started "tuning" it. The supras both started acting funny after the install until we put in some base values to work off of. Keep in mind this was with the AFC right before the AFCII came out.

*Edit*

After a little research here are a few things to think about.

- How did you connect the wires? Did you solder them or use something like a vampire clamp for the hookup?
- Did you double check your wires to make sure you tapped the right wire?
- You did TAP into the wires, you didn't CUT them I hope?

Lastly, I stumbled upon the settings that you need for startup for the VAFC controller. I dunno if you did these or not but you might wanna try them if you have not.

Make sure your controller is set up for the following.
- Sensor type: 6in, 6out
- Car select: 4
- Make sure the directional arrow is pointing northeast

Read this if you have any other concerns about tuning and startup.
