If you installed the ratio rockers but have not yet installed the ECU there
are strong reasons why you might want to park your van for awhile until you
can get the right ECU.

If you check the archives carefully, you will see that the stock ECU
shouldn't be used with the ratio rockers.

If you want to research this more fully, search the archives on the term
"ratio rockers." There is an explanation in there, although I cannot recall
it sufficiently to replicate it here.
