Default ABSfixer - After fix and install car stalls

2003 Z06 - I have a duplicate thread in C5 general. But wasn't sure if z06 specific

I have just installed my abs module after receiving it back from ABS fixer. My traction control and ABS lights have both gone off. The only issue I have is now the car stalls anytime I try to get it moving. Both revers and forward. As I write this im waiting for the car to cool off so I can unplug the module and see if that stops the issue.

I've always had the Service Steering Lock code from over a year ago. I have one of the modules installed under the steering wheel and ive never had an issue with it locking or preventing the car from going more than 3mph. When i first went to start the car I got the pull key and wait 10 sec message. My traction control light was still on. I figured it would be good to unhook the battery and let everything reset. I have not gotten the pull key message and the light hasnt come on. Competitive driving, on/off modes all work. I have also tried using my spare key

I cleared the codes and all I get are PCM0171 and PCM0174. I've had these before and are related to the tune being off a bit. I have a vararam and checked for air leaks. Due to the car immediately stalling almost as if the ignition was turned of I don't believe its tuning. There is no rough idle or rev. I can get the car to move very slowly and it wont stall.

The only thing I can think of is the steering lock turning the car off at anything over 3mph. It just seems odd because the lock has been an issue for over a year. I have the fix where the diode if wired into the ecu so i think it may be time to put that in.

Thanks in advance

UPDATE: If i bareley nudge the car out of my garage and pull it out of gear as soon as it gains enough speed the car stalls. I definitely thing this is the computer turning off the car at speed. I just remoeved the bypass module under the steering column. Still has same issue. Installing LM module on ecu now.

UPDATE2: LMC5 module fixed it. Just weird how that suddenly became and issue.
