No start condition after chip swap (and back to stock chip) I just swapped my OEM chip for the Turner/Conforti one, following the instructions and being very careful. Upon putting everything together, the car stumbled for maybe a second when I tried to start it, and died. Subsequent attempts to start give me no "stumble" at all, just the sad mechanical cranking sound of a engine that's not firing at all. The instructions for the chip have a troubleshooting section, with all the popular failure modes that can happen (wrong chip for DME, chip in backwards or pins misaligned, you messed with other engine stuff at the same time, etc). I checked everything and didn't mess with anything else on the car which could have caused the condition. Even grounded myself during the operation to avoid static electricity. And removed/resocked the chip and reconnected everything. Wiring harness to ECU connectors are nice and shiny. So this where it gets interesting - I put the stock chip back in (oriented correctly, pins line up, etc) and still the same problem. So maybe it's not the Turner chip... Perhaps the DME or wiring harness got damaged during the swap? Or maybe something else on the car just decided to die at this inopportune time? (Not likely but...) Does anyone have any bright ideas? Any leads on what to specifically look at before starting down the general diagnostic tree (does it have spark, fuel pressure, injectors firing, etc...)? Thanks... Aaron |
