If you swapped the actual ECU (Motronic) not just the chip. The motronic you installed may have had an<br>error code in it before you started it- they will not erase w/o a scan tool . Else contact your Chip maker if it was just the chip swap.<p>Or it might have been coded incorrectly.<p>good luck.<br>Email me if you have questions.<p>
