Red light on my ecu keeps blinking?

My car starts fine and rive great , i havent boosted yet becasue i am still in the break in. It sometimes turns on and off for a few seconds then it shuts off

i dont have my air temp sensor hooked up , and my wastegate doesnt have a vacuum because i need to put a 90 degree fitting , but i cant boost anyways so its fine


What do you think could be the problem.

hook up a laptop and it will show you what the error is. More than likely it's the air temp sensor that you don't have connected

When your microtech is on.
Plug your laptop in.
Connect to the ecu.
Press up once, then left, and youll see 4 status checks. Once you have checked them press left again.

Also if you have not got your air temp sensor connected it will spit out an error.
