I am considering getting a chip and have a few questions about it.
I purchased a chip before and it was a TW 6 position chip. I had recurring issues with it setting a CEL and not starting maybe 20% of the time. If I turned the key back to off and tried again it would fire right up with no CEL. At the time I tried and tried to get ahold of Tony and finally gave up and sold the chip to a kid cheap. I haven't tried to run a chip since.
Is this a common problem? I removed the PCM and cleaned the contacts very well and had it taped in there. I removed it several times trying to diagnose it and never got anywhere. The chip has been missing for two years now and the problem has not repeated once since I removed it, although Tony insisted that my problem was something with the truck.
So is this something I have to worry about? I am considering putting a custom program on the PCM so I don't have this concern anymore. I have no interest in switching programs, so that's not a problem.
