Default Help! Car keeps cutting out after fmic fitted?

Hi everyone, I have just fitted a japspeed fmic to my 03 wrx.

Went to start her up, she ticks over for a 5-10 seconds, goes lumpy then just konks out!

Any ideas what the problem is?

All help appreciated!

Jamie

Had the car mapped yet after fitting the FMIC?

Sounds like it could be an air leek though from one of the joints.
