Default Car is stuttering like crazy at low rpms. FMU installed but not spoolin for another few days

I just installed my blue box yesterday, and am having some trouble.

Basically i was getting a code 9, that stoped by its self, i didint do anything, but the car still runs like ****! It stutter at low RPMs and my idle speed is around 150 (yes. one hundred and fifty) rpm. And is extremly jumpy, you can actualy hear the car go up and down and the tach needle can be seen move. The car has absolutly no power from 0 to 3000 rpm and has jumps of strenght, it feel like when the tip of a spark plug wire gets wet. The thing is this only happens when i connect the map sensor wire to the blue box. If i hookup everything but that wire it runs just perfect, but as soon as i hook that one up it starts to give trouble.

I was told maybe it retarded the timing to much, and i should move mi dizzy a bit just to remove a little of the timing retardation from the blue box. If so, does this mean rotating the dizzy towards me or against me (im standing in front of the car )

Any help would be greatly apreciated. I need to have her runing ok by tomorow, because IC and piping are going to be done tomorow for which i have to drive her to the shop for welding.

as far as the ignition timing goes i beleive you would move it away from you if you wanted to advance it, but if you are obdII it can be a little bit of a bitch to get your ecu to accept it
