Bad installaion is usually the cause of this problem . !
You either have a loose connection or short in one of the 6 wires that connect to the ecu from the monitor.
The plug on the back of the monitor if not fully seated can also do this.
Check also that nothing is shorting the back of the circuit board when its installed into the dash.
You can check for problems by examining the sensor values BEFORE you start the engine to make sure they read right.

Well as I said above, its most likely a wiring fault or the plug on the back of the monitor isnt seated properly !
If its stopping the engine running, I would guess the earth connection is at fault

if its cutting the car out when plugged in sounds to me as if you have a 12v short ..... that is if the wiring ok
short is probably on the monitor itself
