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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
