Tried installing my chip today, nothing. Car turns over but wont fire. I cleaned the port real well, used a little sand paper too. When I turn the key on the cooling fan comes on and the fuel pump runs and doesnt stop...
I took the chip out and the car runs fine...any ideas?
Did you clean BOTH sides of the EEC connector? If not you may have a mess on your hands because the chip will have that grease all over it now. Hopefully, after snading you cleaned it all with alcohol and a rag. The other possibility is you sanded it too much and worn down the connectors...
I'd wager the port still isn't clean - but it could (very rare) be a bad chip...
I have had similar problems, except mine starts just won't run at idle. I took the chip out, the problem stopped, then I put it back in after cleaning it thoroughly, and I still occasionally get the problem of it not running at idle. Make sure there is nothing on the terminals of the chip as well, just in case something got caught in it.
