Not sure if you've heard of Church Automotive Testing in Wilmington, Shawn is the owner and takes his time to tune each car and AEM is one of his expertise.

Need some help.
So finally after a 4 month wait the car is running again. It was dyno yest with the standalone and it put 350whp. Not bad for all stock motor. Anyway, after driving the car for a little bit and smoking a few sr20s and subarus. I turned off the car for a bit and after turning it back on. It would not stay one for long. I called my tuner he told me to connect everything back to the original ECU, so i did. Car turned on and stayed on. Then i had to switch back to the AEM v2 ecu. Now the car turns on but if i put it into gear 1st or reverse the car shuts off... which is weird. The tuner things it might have to do with the neutral safety switch??? Any help out there would be appreciate it. The car was original an auto now is 97 5 spd convertion.
