Default poor running and det

had my car remapped with a simtek ecu about 1 month ago and on my way home today when putting my foot down sounded like a rattley exhaust but my check engine light was flickering which indicates det, not good, so got some octane booster and stuck thats in but no joy its also popping on the over run and ticking over lumpy, does anyone have any ideas what could cause this before i call the mapper back.

Thanks Ryan

Are you running with the MAF or is it now MAP based with the Simtek.

could be just a hose blown off or loose somewhere.
