There are two black boxes. The little one is the map clamp and all it does is "hides" boost from the map sensor. The larger box is a timing controller and its purpose is to retard the timing dependant on boost. Do you have a vacuum line hooked up to the timing box?

Yeah, I got the vacuum line hooked up to it. Man, I wish I could figure out what's wrong with it. Im thinking of just undoing his clips and splicing all the wires juss as the instructions say. But why do that when the clips worked for him. O, and the check engine light came on tonight.
What do I do?

you said all the wiring is stock..but then you say everything is hooked up?? you need both boxes, the map clamp does nothing at idle only when you go into boost does it hide the voltage. the timing box is needed as well, your problem could be detonation early since you are not retarding the timing with the box. alot of people will not help if you are not clear. good luck
Checked the vacuum lines, already tried resetting the ECU. Yeah, next thing on the list is to check the wiring and probably take apart his clips and splice all of em.
Appreciate the help man.

does the CEL come on immediately after start up? if so its not a vacuum line. so you have problems at idle? you didnt change any spark plugs out or anything did you?
Now WITH the black box. It started then sputters and dies....WITH a check engine light comin right after start up.
