Well, here we go, another newbe making the same old mistakes! But, I was hoping those more experienced can offer some help. I just added a tuned pcm and am having a host of problems. I have a wizair intake installed, but was interupted by some family issues and have to wait a few days to get the 3.4 pulley on, and the colder plugs installed. I know I need cat-back work (stuff on order), but the car is bogging out horribly. Will I see any damage running with just the pcm for a few days? It stutters on anything other than the lightest amount of gas, and I am not brave (or stupid) enough to even try WOT.
Just starting; problems already!

Check for any wires that may have been pused over or pinched while installing the CAI. It sounds like a plug wire is arcing out....but it could very well be the PCM, as noted above try swapping out the PCM first thing.
Thanks guys. I'm sure I'll have no problems going back to the stock one; problems started when I swapped 'em. Do you think I'll be ok once the pulley and other supporting parts are in? The pcm was designed for a 3.4 pulley with cold air and cat-backs, and I finally noticed some black smoke in daylight today, possible I just have a ton of kr and am running too rich without the other parts?

u need more than a catback to have a good enough flowing exhaust. u also need either headers with a 3inch downpipe or a 3inch downpipe and a plog to be able to even begin to safely run that 3.4
