Its always been my understanding that you can use the 8V box with the 16V
but the difference is that the fuel mapping is different and the rev
limiter is much lower. (and viseversa. 16V box on a 8V works too.)

Icky. I hate electrical crap. It sounds like you have another problem but
it might be related to the box. Not in as much as its an 8V box, but
there might be a signal that its not geting to the box so it shuts the
motor off? I dunno for sure, im only speculating. Is everything hooked up
right? Have you checked it 3000 times yet?

How about getting a 16V box and trying that? Is there a reason why you
have the 8V box or its a case of running what you got?
