Default 86 Corvette Code 41, won't run

I purchased an 86 vette 114k miles with a VATS problem. I put a new ECM + a PROM with VATS bypassed on it. It started right up, just ran a little rough and had no RPM reading. I took the car to the gas station, filled it up, as i was driving it back it started running rougher and then died by the time i got back. Now i'm getting a code 41 off the ECM, and when i try to start it, it tries to start but won't stay running. I have since replaced the Cap/Ignition Control Module/Coil, unplugged and checked connections on the electrical in the engine, and messed with the timing. The injectors all appear new and have 16.5 ohm readings. O2 sensor looks recently replaced. I've got good spark, fuel pressure is 45lbs, all fuses are good. Everywhere i look nothing explains what to do to fix a code 41 and i'm guessing that's the cause of my problem. Anybody have ideas?
