very weird???

just did a winter build and got it out on the road. car starts and idles fine but when in gear its missing, backfiring etc all over the rpms. put a new opti on car did same thing but now is worse. when you get in the throttle a little bit the needle for the tack flickers and the car cuts out the i get a ses light on that goes away every time i start it. i still have no tune yet because its been running so bad.

Sounds like what happened to me when my battery cable came loose...double check all your grounds and put the battery on a load test(not just voltage).

Could be something that simple like in my case.
