Defective microtech?? Please Help!! :(

Ok so today In a span of 15 mins driving my car totally lost all power and stalled out 3 times. I would let it sit about 5 minutes then it would start right up and seem fine until 2 miles down the road the same thing happens. I noticed the red light was flashing on the microtech which is the master warning light. Is my microtech just a p.o.s or what? Please help I can't even drive until this is fixed. I purchased the Cobb AP from mazdamaniac with his tuning service so could I just swap out the microtech for a freshly tuned cobb AP? :D

Kane is offering Microtech and AccessPORT customer phone support these days?
That's awesome.

Lol well he is flying here to tune my microtech so I figured I'd give him a call and see if he might know what was wrong. In the meantime I'm going to be changing up the intake piping so that I can run the AP

I just don't understand why you are tuning the Microtech if you are using the AccessPORT.
You have to uninstall the Microtech to use the AccessPORT.
