Do I have a chip?

I just got my car about 2 months ago, I bought it from a dealer, as far as I know it only has intake on it. I just want to know how can I determine if there is a chip on it, or can I tell if it has been tuned. I did do a search so don't beat me up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

well you can tell if it has a chip by looking at the pcm and see if it has anything pluged into the port on the pcm. but our cars also have the ability to be tuned by pcm reflash. so it's going to be kind of hard to tell if it has a "chip" or not

yup check the back of the pcm to see if there is an aftermarket chip, its located on the passenger side kick panel

And actually you can open the glove box, pop the sides so the glove box door opens all the way down, and you'll be able to see the top of the PCM. It's a little tough to see, but that's the easiest way to sneak a peek at it.
