You're the first out of so many SCT customers I've heard about that had a problem with their product.

Mistakes happen from time to time. Too bad it fell on you

Get hold of Ken. He will take care of you. You might try taking the computer apart to get the circuit board out to clean the terminals. That's what I did to make sure mine was clean.

But you said the trac control was auto off? Still may be something else.

Find another GT and put it that one. Go to Walmart "Umm..excuse me but can I put a peformance chip in your car and see if it starts"?

I know that didn't help but I though I'd try to give you a smile anyway.

Did you give them the right computer code? At least with my Pro-M chip, I had to call the tuner with the code in my passenger's-side door jamb so that everything was right when he programmed my chip during the dynotune.

same thing happened with me at first then i put rubbing alchohol(sp?) on the connectors and it FINALLY after hours started up.
As for a bad chip that could be the problem too and i think you may have given them the wrong or no computer code at all. My friend tried installing a chip for weeks come to find out he didnt even give them a code hehe
