one of the sensors connected to the box is likely not reading now, which is why you get a MSCF error. Or you knocked another sensor while fitting the box.

I'm not familiar with the "italian box", but I do know an unconnected rail pressure sensor, which all boxes connect to, causes a failure to start...

I have disconnected it now wouldn't start at all with it connected

I'm guessing the box is faulty or is not intended for your engine

The Italian Box - Beware!

Hi

I bought an Italian Box via Ebay. It arrived and was faulty. I sent it back and was promised a replacement upon providing a tracking number. The replacement never arrived and they then promised a refund which also never happened after many promises and weeks. Ebay are investigating the company and I have mow provided my bank with all the email promises and ebay correspondence to get my money back.

The owner is luigi and he is a liar. BEWARE!!

I bought one for my 1.9 before I had it remapped properly.
I never had any problems, worked out of the box no problem but car was VERY smoky.
I still have it lying around if somebody wants it for postage cost...
