Angry big mess ! need help..!!

i got my xcal3 and jlt cai today.. after i installed everything, i took my car for a test drive.. after driving for about a minute, a wrench light came on.. so i pulled in a parking lot, turned the car off and turned it back on.. the light went away..

after that i drove for about 50 feet, then the wrench light came on, a second after that service engine soon light came on.. and my breaks and steering wheels locked ! then the car shut down.. i tried to turn it back on, it turned off after 30 seconds.. and the battery light and service engine soon light came out..

so i called AAA and they towed my car.. i turned it on just to see what lights are on and such, now the only thing i see is service engine soon light is on.. i'm definetley scared to drive the car.. and its md DD idk what to do..

what you guys think the problem is ??

PS i have bama tunes, i loaded 93 race on my car, and its a 2005 mustang gt, auto trans...

please help.

thanks in advance.

check the cai install. make sure everything is tight. including the maf sensor. after that, did you get a tune that is correct for your car, including adding a cai to your mod list?

If none of the above works try reloading the tune.

Double check with the tuner that the tune was made for your PCM code. Your PCM under the hood should have a sticker on top with "MTZ0" or some other code written on it.

Always baffles me when people do this. I have a co-worker that just bought a used stang (100% stock) and they put 93 in it.

Anyway, as for your car. Where is it? Did you have it towed home? If so, return it to stock and see what happens.

Have you tried loading any of the OTHER Bama tunes?

Also, +1 on checking the install, especially the MAF and the inlet tube-to-TB clamps.
