SprintBooster Problem!!!

Hey folks! I've been driving on the sprintbooster since the past 4-5 days and have experienced a weird problem. Sometimes when in heavy traffic, I'm toggling between high rpms and lows, and when i press kick-down, i get a TPMS malfunction message and my throttle stops responding!!! It is very embarrassing to switch off the engine and then turning it back on in mid-traffic to get the throttle to respond back!!!

Anyone facing/faced the same problem?

The problem can be:

1. The Sprintbooster itself
2. or you havent fitted the sb well, you have to push hard to connect the SB into the accellerator (gas pedal) and the connector that goes into the SB.

Well i sort of agree on that. A normal driver can easily do what the sprintbooster does. At the end, the sprintbooster is just about the FEEL and nothing else at all!!!

I'll try fixing it again. But in case it is the sprintbooster itself, then i doubt I'm going to be wasting any time on it!
