Default fires but wont run w/6al box

heres the deal..engine will fire and run until i try to give it any gas then it just dies. If i take the 6al box out of the picture it runs great. Double triple checked wiring. good grounds, 12.9 volts at constant and switched location, even tried a different box and still the same thing...tried a different coil..still the same thing. Also tried jumping the switched 12 volt wore to battery and nothing...any ideas?
