Angry Superchips 1715 Tuner Problem

i have a 2001 ford f150 with a 5.4 and i put a superchips tuner in the truck finally. everything was going good then one day i tried started noticing spark knock in my truck...then a few days later i started it and it would not idle...it'd start up then when it came down to idle at the normal 700 rpms it'd stall...i could rev the truck up and it'd run at high rpms but once i let off the pedal it wouldn't stay running. i deinstalled the tuner and it was fine....then yesterday it did the same thing. i have owned the truck for 5 years and its never done this. anyone have any ideas? Thanks

The truck had the same problem AFTER uninstalling the tuning from the programmer?

If it is,..... your truck is the problem not the tuner.

Sounds like it was just random timing and it's your truck.
