Recheck your installation. you might have plugged it wrong. Make sure they line up right. Good luck.

You must have one of the plugs mis-aligned. Check both ends to make certain you're mating to the OE plug pattern/plastic housing configuration exactly. I did that the first time I installed the SB and it came up with several errors and sounded like it was running on four cylinders. It's an easy mistake to make in the dark recess of the footwell.
