Without my chip my 96 Cobra runs smooth with no fluctuation in idle. With the chip in I have the fluctuation in rpms and idle sound. Any ideas guys? Thanks in advance-Shane

I had a Diablo chip in my v6 and loved it.

You might have to reset your computer to match your fuel/air mixture with the new timing adjustments.

The car will adjust naturally as you drive over time

or

disconnect your battery for a few minutes, then re-connect

good luck

Sounds like a calibration issue.
Call superchips and ditch the chip you have.

Ideas?...Ditto, bad chip calibration, how long was the chip in? My car will stall and idle like poop after my battery is diconnected for 25-50 miles before everything smooths out.

Is this a custom burn or a pre-programmed off the shelf chip?

Chip

I bought the car in mint condition for with all the mods but the rims for 12 grand. Great deal but I assumed any problems with the installs. So I really dont know how the installs occured. Thinking maybe I should just send the chip back to Diablo and have it reburned with the mods I have to make sure it was burned rite and not installed before all the mods were. I called one dealer and he said that it wouldnt matter cause the mods I have would affect and auto but not a standard. Better safe than sorry I say. Thanks-shane
