Puck problems in an '01 Dodge

I got around to installing my puck the other day on my '01 Dodge 2500 with the 5.9 Cummins. I drove my truck around a bit last night to test it out and I was very impressed, the power gain was definitely noticeable above 2,000 RPM. However this morning when I fired up, the engine malfunction light stayed on and continues to stay on. I checked for trouble codes on the dash and I got a couple of them:
P 1693
P 0237
I looked up the code translation and the first code says that the MAP sensor voltage is too low, the second code says there was a trouble code detected in the ECM (probably detected the first code) What can I do about the MAP sensor voltage problem?
When driving today the power is intermittent and when it goes out, I have no power to accelerate (worse than stock) then it's like the puck will kick back in and I'll get the improved power again. Also the check engine light comes on and off every now and then. I have tried cleaning the connections with the MAP sensor and no luck, even checked the voltage to the sensor and got 4.97 (supposed to be 5)
Could it be that the MAP sensor is going bad? What should I do?

If all connections appear to be OK, it may be an issue with the unit.
Was it new or used?

It was a new unit I purchased from xtremediesel.com

I reconnected the stock wiring to the MAP sensor and removed the puck for now. I'm going to see if the codes clear or not with the factory wiring. If they don't, I'll replace the sensor, but if they do it may be a defective puck. What is the process of exchanging if that is the case?

I just bought a new power puck for my '01 ton Dodge with 5.9Cummins, Having the same problem. Plugged it in, went for a drive, had great power. The engine light then came on and lost all power, it was just like the turbo quit. I unplugged the puck and it was back to normal, exept the engine light stayed on. Took the truck back to the shop where I bought the puck, had them hook up their computer and cancell the code. It was a MAP sensor code, he didn't tell me which code. Plugged it back in and the light returned, same symptoms. It has intermittant power, if you push it, it cuts the horsepower and will hardly pull itself.

Your Turbo Boost Sensor has more than Likely Failed.

Sounds like ur lift pump is failing and ur ECM is shutting u down on the vp44 pumps if the fuel pressure is below 5 ur screwed also you mave have done damage to your injection pump
