DP mystery solved

In my haste/excitement to install DP I did not retighten the 10mm bolt on backside of PCM corrrectly it no longer resets to 1...it stays in whatever tune I leave it in and I am no longer having pipey/erratic acceleration that I thought was caused by my recent FPR shim..on top of that I may have had a short underneath steering column...wires worn in spots...repaired...my apologies for the incorrect information....operator error

Glad you figured it out. It's easy to miss something like that. Always to double check everything after finished.
