Default idle problem after installing zex kit

i have a 1999 civic si with the stock b16 and i just installed the zex kit and a 75 shot jet. we had to splice into the tps wire for the box. i took the car for a test drive after i put it on and it was fine. after a couple times of using the kit my check engine light popped on, i put it on a diagnostics thing and it said idle system malfunction or something like that now the car oscalates between 1500 and 1700 rpm anyone else have this problem?

It's possible that the box is bad and is interupting the signal between the tps and the ecu.

Only other thing I can think of is if your PCV valve is clogged, but that doesn't just happen.
