I am not gettnig a code 12 now. Does that mean that the ECM is bad? Or could it mean something else?

This damn fuel injection is driving me nuts.

interesting. So I must have a problem with my memcal then. Would that let the car run for like half a second then shut off? even if I give it gas I can't keep it running. it will fire a bit then shut down. Hope fully redoing the memcal will fix this.

Sounds like VATS is messing with you. Did you turn it off in the prom?

Yeah I did. I will recheck it though. My programmer has been acting strange.

Sound like you may be going into limp home mode,
w/all your mods the limp home chip will not run the car.
Try a reburn or a diff. prom and check your contacts maybe.
