I had the chip out because I was trying to identify what kind of chip it was since it was not a stock chip.
BY MISTAKE....I started the engine without the chip. it ran for about 3 seconds and stalled.
then I tried to crank it but it would not start. finally I realized that I forgot to reinstall the chip.
I installed the chip and waited about 20 minutes then I tried to restart the car and it just cranks. I checked and have no fuel at the rail at all. the car has fuel in the tank.
has anyone ever heard of an ecu blowing up from starting it without the chip?
the car still recognizes the ecu because I always had a cel light on and when I plug in the ecu the cel comes on and goes off when I unplug it. when I remove the chip the cel just lightly flickers.
all fuses are good. car never did this till I made this mistake. but I wanna make sure its the ecu before I buy a new one.
thanks
