So I get a computer shop to desolder the stock chip and solder in a new socket for my JWT Chip.....All looks good when I take it apart to inspect the work. I hook up the ECU and I start the car. Now the check engine light won't go off, the red LED on the ECU is on. The car is Idling rough and there is a super strong gas smell, probally from running rich. I won't drive the car because I'm scared something is severly wrong. So is there any idea's as to what could be wrong. Is it that the ECU is fried? I'm hoping it's something else. Thanks for the help

 

just a thought....is your car a Cali or Fed? and is the CHIP for a Cali car? or a FED? that could explain it for you.

1992 NA (Charcoal)
1990 TT (Charcoal)

 

The car is Cali, and I'm assuming the chip probally isn't. Does it make that big of a difference?
