My friend purchased an '03 GT. It's modded and has a performance chip on the CPU of the car. Mods are a Steeda CAI, Bullitt Intake, JBA shorty headers, stock H pipe that was modified into an X pipe, Magnapack cat back. He wants to remove the chip so he can run 87 again. When removing the chip is that all you have to do? Will the CPU go back to stock? And, should he, with those mods, remove it?

unplug the battery before removing the chip. that's all you need to do. the car will run fine without the chip.

Good. Thanks.

Do these chips have any value to others? Or are they set to just his car?

We removed the chip and everything is okay but one thing. The idle is high. The idle is just below 1000rpms.

Depends on what chip it is.

Most off the shelf chips will work in any car. Custom burned chips however are set to a certain car.



The car should relearn idle over the next 50 starts. It's typical when you reset the batt.
