Default someone please help.

I have a 2002 c5 corvette

Went to install my used wotbox that I got in the mail today. wired everything up per instructions. car would not start. i thought I messed up the 2 pink wires from the engine bay fuse box. took the "orange wire and the red wire" and reversed them. car would not start. I took the wotbox off and spliced the 2 pink wires back together as factor, car started. I went ahead and tried reinstalling the wotbox. car would not start. took the wot box off again, reinstalled everything to factory. I checked the wiring that was heatstrunk and taped (looked like factory) turns out of the ignition wires and ground were swapped for NO APPARENT REASON!!) I still put it together with no wot box and factory wiring. Car would not start. I reversed the 2 pink wires thinking i may have messed it up. Car would not start. I checked fuses, inj1 was popped. I replaced it, started car, passenger side bank was not firing at all. I reversed pink wires, thinking maybe they were wrong again. car would not start. I went ahead and combined the 2 pink wires together. Car started and was "running fine" This is not how the car was factory but per wotbox instructions, they have you combine the 2 pink wires. drove home to give up for the night and "Service car soon" showed on the dash. I'm thinking its to do with these pink wires. What the heck do i do at this point??

You are asking us to help, which is fine, but we have no idea what your instructions say to do.

Maybe you should:

1) Get a schematic of the circuit your cutting in the car.
2) Contact the manufacturer of the Wotbox or is it WHUTBOX? and see what they say.
