Was given a shift light and an autometer tach adaptor for christmas. Went to install it, did the usual, tapped into the thick red wire, pin 34, but had to cut it in half to run the couple wires off the adaptor. Sure enough I get everything connected and my car feels awful. I reloaded my tune and everything, double checked and redid all my connections but still, she seems like she is running rich, very loud, the car is bucking and very rough at idle and pretty much through the whole rpm range. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, I am just out of ideas here.

Did you try removing the adapter to see if everything clears up? How did you reconnect the wires? Soldering is the best way to do it if you can.

Removed the adaptor out of the loop, still running poorly. The wires were soldered and shrink wrapped or whatever that stuff is called. This has turned into a mess. I am just going to take it to a dealer next tuesday to figure this out. I don't have the diagnostics to do any of this.
