Default HELP, my car is sick!!!

ok, my mods are a Field VTEC/Fuel controller, short ram intake, and generic 4-1 header....here's my problem(s)....sometimes the car won't start, it leans all the way out and i can tap the controller and it'll be fine, but all my fuel points are set at 0, so i've not messed with that....it'll throw the knock sensor CEL at almost redline, but i can cut it off for a sec and clear the light, but it will go to limp mode even when the light isn't on.....i've checked the wiring for a short or something, which i'm gonna do again tomorrow, but this is really pissin me off....what could trip the knock sensor and why in the hell is the controller makin my car stall?

i had the same exact problem with my Fields Vtec Controller. I shut that bitch off and the CEL never came back on. Problem solved.
