Hopefully it was just a quirk that have went away. I've taken mine on and off a few times without any problems. Knock on wood.

I think maybe when the SB was installed & you started the car, it caused excess fuel to be dumped into the system, creating a rich mixture which was dectected by the O2 sensor, which in turn sent an error message the ECU. The error cleared when the computer was able to adjust after running the car a while, or the air/fuel mixture is now back to normal.
But what do I know....

What you said sounds reasonable... I think that makes sense. Anyways, glad to have the SB working properly now...
