MSD chip with ALS ?

MSD chip with ALS ?
Help needed please
have recently bought a new chip with ALS
I have now got round to to test it, and something seems a bit strange.
If I activate it via a switch, when the engine is cold, it will drop the rpm, and car becomes undrivable. Now I know that it is not supposed to pop and bang when cold, but seems wrong that it affects the way the car drives. I was of the impression that it just wouldn't activate if some of the ALS parameters wasn't met (like engine cold).
Have I misunderstood this - or installed it incorrectly?
When engine warm and if I rev it, it will pop a bit - but I will not test too much if something is wrong.
I have connected PIN 13 through an on/off switch to chassis earth.
And modified the ISCV - but no other modifications. (descriped as very mild ALS in the instructions)
any inputs highly appriciated

When it's activated, it does affect the way the engine runs and how the car drives, the idle become very rough and the revs drop, also i found that the car wasnt nice to drive at low revs but thats not what it was designed for, it meant to be used when changing gear at high revs. It does sound strange that it works when the engine's cold though, best thing would be to contact msd i would say.
