Default VAFC2 problem after install...

I did some searching and check out the instruction manual. My car has died at idle a couple times after getting on it and then when I am at a constant speed or accelerating..it seems like the gas cuts out for a second and then goes again. Almost like I am not pushing the gas pedal even though I am. It only lasts for a second but happends frequently. I thought it had something to do with the sensor numbers. Anyone else have an idea?

I had the same problem when I installed mine. It was the wiring. Check it and double check it. That's definatly what it is.

Run through the initial setup again, like the sensor numbers, number of cyl, throttle type etc.
