Car wont start after install of SCT chip

[bowens99GT]

Well I did everything the instructions told me to do....cleaned those little things off like it said....plugged everything up....Turned key to where radio would play. It did, fan came on, traction control was automatically off. Tried starting car.....nothing happened. So now I'm mad and dont know what to do?
Can anyone help me?

Take the chip out try to start your car ?

The Same thing happened to my 2000 V6 Installed the chip and it wouldn't start. Thats when I realized I needed a GT. But they ended up saying it was the wrong chip for teh car.

 

[bowens99GT]

I'll do that......after I see what setting the steeda timing adj. back to 10* does

 

[bowens99GT]

That better not be the case......if so Mod Depot is starting to go downhill for me. But changing the timing back to stock didnt work but taking the chip out did. I dont know wtf is up.

Anyone else can help me?

you didn't clean the connectors good enough.

 

[bowens99GT]

I spent a good 20 min on them.....how else should I do it?

 

[DBMSTNG]

oh, btw, use a pocket knife or razor blade and scrape the connectors. also, blow out the chip just incase some of the crap from the connectors got inside.

 

[DBMSTNG]

i had the same problem. i thought i cleaned it off good, but didn't.

This might sound funny but try to get an eraser and use that to clean the conectors.

 

[bowens99GT]

that eraser actually looks like it working.

I use them all the time on corroded connections on the recievers and old computers. They work like a charm.

I had the identical prob. with my diablo chip, turned out to be a bad chip. Took my ride back up to Pro3i and put in a new chip and it started right up.

We had the same problems with my friends 944 turbo, we realized we were putting the chips in the wrong way. Try turning the chip over and putting it in.

 

[bowens99GT]

Yeah wont go in any other way. I'mma call tomorrow and see if its a bad chip.

I had the same problem with my diablo also i got 2 bad chips a 2weeks later before i got one that worked

You cant really put it in the wrong way. Just make sure you cleaned the terminals off enough so that there isnt any more of that sticky stuff on there, adn you can clearly see the copper color on the terminals, then clean it off with a cloth with some rubbing alcohol on it. That worked for me.

 

[bowens99GT]

I wonder if I start the car on the stock tune position of #4 and then switch to tune #0......I'll try in the morning I suppose.

 

[bowens99GT]

Ive came to a conclusion......I HAVE A BLANK CHIP!
