Computer tt chip

[Loswages05]

Is there any reason why my old Kennie Bell Chip and my Armstrong chip works in my car but I put a old turbo tweet chip and then I ordered a brand-new turbo to chip the ECM keeps flashing?

This might be what you are experiencing ,
Turn the key on. The “Service Engine Soon” light should come on, blink once and stay on. If, after
installing the new chip and turning the key on, the “Service Engine Soon” light flashes on and off
rapidly, do not start the car. Try to re-insert the chip, checking for bent pins. Also, check the ECM
chip socket for any pins that are bent in too far, possibly making poor contact with the chip. The
ECM socket pins can be carefully bent back out with a pin or needle. If the SES light still flashes,
then the chip may be defective, or damaged during shipment, and will need to be replaced.
Some post offices are using X-ray equipment that has damaged chips in the past.

Will do

Does the rapid flashing occur with just the TT chip, or with all of them?

 

[Loswages05]

Just with the tt chips other chips work

Then it's not the ECM that's at fault.

 

[Loswages05]

Why won't it read tt chips

Did my used tt chip and my new one no go but kenny bell is fine don't get it at all

Make sure you try re-tensioning all the tabs in the ECM socket. Sometimes older chips have conformed to the socket over the years, and new chips might have issues.

Gentlemen, I have experienced a similar problem: Changed chips and immediately started car and it was running horrible then noticed the dim steady flashing SES light. Returned to 1st chip and light still flashed car running not as bad but not right! Then I put in my spare ECM with the 1st chip and seems OK .
Did i screw up in my order of things or did the ecm react badly to 2nd chip or??

Please advise this inexperienced tuner, your advice and tips are appreciated!!

Your computer may have not seated the chip like the pic above that Eric posted , as long as you unplugged the wire at battery before changing the chip you probably did not do nothing wrong
