The chip will not normally act up on it's own. EPROM's require UV to erase them. If it was sitting inthe sun for a week with the UV window open I would say yes there is a problem.

The ECM will act up though. Drop in the TG chip and see. If you have a stock chip to drop in you can try that also. :icon_cool:

Sometimes, you can find a bad ECM by performing a "tap test" on it. Simply remove the beauty cover from the fender area where the ECM is located and give the ecm a good tap(not real hard, just enough to give it a little jolt) with your knuckles while the engine is running. Listen carefully to see if the engine stumbles when you tap against the ecm. I've found several bad ECM's on various cars using this method. ;)

Did ya try it without the Performace chip attatchment? just run the stock MEMCAL?

Seems to run fine with the new ECM, without the performance chip.  I am cleaning all grounds, and replaced battery just for kicks.  Performance chip makes the idle go up to 2K plus.  Stock chip, stays at 1K, sometimes less.  Still got me confused.  With stock chip, has been running fine for 2 days now :icon_eek:
