aup guys ive bought an evo chip for my 16vt
and when i plugged it in i dont get any spark or anything!
on the computor it comes up as ECU FAULT
am i doing something wrong?
id be greatful for any help guys

cheers

make sure the chip is pushed in properly

Could be the wrong way round - one end has a little notch in it - did you match it to the one you took out? Check the how to guide I can't remember off the top of my head which direction the notch points

Otherwise a pin could be bent out of the socket

it was pushed all the way in and i made sure the notch was in the same position as the 1 i took out! 8-(

have you tried the old chip again?

And where did you get it from? was it an ebay one?

try the OE one, if that works suspect the chip is corrupted somehow, talk to Dink on the forum for one of his if this is the case (it a newer, and IMO better version of the evocars)

Cheers

Perhaps one of the pins isnt in it's hole. Theres so many of the damn things.

hey guys thanx for your help

yes ive tryed the old chip and it fired stright up!

and ive just bought it off SPEE so it better work lol

ill try playing with the pins tomorrow see if owt happens!

if your old chip works,then it must be a problem with the new chip

DON'T play too much with the pins (they snap!)
Does it have a smallish (around 3mill dia) glass bit (flush) in the centre of the chip?
In other words, has the sticker being removed?
If so, and if you had it lying around under the sun (yeah right...) you may have partially erased it.
