Blue Chip FMS problem-boost at idle

Hi guys. I bought a Blue Chip Fuel Management System with the built-in digital guages, used from a guy on the DTR and from when I installed it 5 months ago, until yesterday it had been performing flawlessly.

Yesterday was a normal morning, turn ignition on, wait for box to show startup menu, pump volts test, then wait for the grid to cycle and start her up. It said it lost my parameters for the box and went to a 15% fueling default (it was set at the full 63%), plus my other custom stuff, RPM and EGT (in "ones" of resolution) on top, boost on bottom (in "tenths" of resolution) and my fueling rate on the bottom also. Everything was reset.

I set the box back up to my defuel temp, etc, etc, etc, full fuel, turned the fuel back on and everything was normal until I looked at the boost.

At idle it was reading 0-.4, jumping back and forth, (where before it ALWAYS read 0 at idle) and it seemed like boost was building at a much lower rpm (and faster) and acceleration than it used to. At idle my fueling would say 1% then jump back to 0%.

I'm confused! I called Chip and left a message. Can anyone give me any tips until I can call him on Monday?

Nick

P.S.-I did unplug my MAP sensor and it wasn't dirty at all, didn't change anything. Also, I found a cool setup menu. If you hold down all three buttons before you turn the key and keep holding while you only put the key into run (engine off), it will jump to actual EGT temps and then where you would scroll through the menu there is a model year, solenoid parameters, pump volts test, upgrade menu, etc, all in there. Check it out (you guys that have em)
