Default Engine won't idle HELP!!!

All of a sudden today my engine won't seem to idle. All it does is start up and then the rpms go down and its stales. I have installed FMU, MSD SCI, Fuel Pump, Boost and Air/Fuel Gauge, and Missing Link, which was the last thing I installed and that was lastnight, but it was fine then. Does any have any clue what could be the problem. My engine is a 1.6L vtec D16Y8 in a 2000 civic ex.

How about take off the last thing you installed and see if it runs? that would be a good way to pin point the problem.

I took off the missing link and the idle seemed to be a little better but is still idling funny. But my question is how could a missing link make my cart not idle? It's just a piece of metal witha hole in it and 2 long screws.

Have you tried resetting your ECU?
