Default Help!!! installed knock sensor now car dies!

Well.. I just installed a turboxs knock lite, and now when my car reaches 2.5k rpm the motor shuts off...

When I turn the car on, it shuts off immediately, and then if I start it a 2nd time then the car will idle... then when I accelerate to 2.5k it shuts off.

Tried it 4 times does the same exact thing each time.

Limp mode eh?

I also just noticed my outside temperature is reading 107 degrees wtf.. im certain the knock sensor is wired correctly. Verified with the FSM.

I unplugged the negative terminal on the battery and I will see if anything changes in the morning :P

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

reset the ecu and TB if necessary, it has to relearn itself.

What exactly do you mean you installed aTurbo XS knock sensor?
Are you saying you installed a tuner pro??
