First test run after a few months of work...questions!

So for the past few months I've either been working on the RX7 or I've been out of town. No motor work, and not much electrical. Subframe, steering, headers, and cooling. At some point the SAFC in my car got set to "initialize all: Off" which as some of you know, stops the car from starting. Well having never messed with that, I didn't know it stops your car from running. So we unplugged it and tried to run it. Well then it just ran terribly, and wouldn't idle on its own. Finally I decided to plug it in, mess with it then finally figured it out. so we got everything back together, and it runs almost 100%. once in awhile, while not giving it much gas, it almost sputters. Like its starved. It's got a full tank, and its not only around turns. I caught my oil pressure guage hit zero while driving a couple times. But eventually evened out. (I did also check my oil, which was perfect) The SAFC seems to be slightly off aswell, when my cars RPMs are at 2500 the SAFC is usually at 1500. None of these things have happened before. could some of the settings have gotten altered? Would the new headers I put on make a difference to the SAFC? Opinions will be taken into serious consideration. Thanks guys.

The SAFC is spliced into the wiring so you just can't "take it out" without fixing what "someone screwed" when they installed it.
I say that as ALL the SAFC threads I have ever seen on here are: "My car won't run correctly,I have an SAFC".

Have you tried posting in the SUPER AFC section yet?
