chip causes starting problems?
well, I put in my new (chipped) ECU last night, did the TBA and all, started it up, and took it for a spin. everything looked good...
this morning, same thing, everything a-ok...
this evening, I was leaving to go to a friends house...I started the car, backed up about 2 feet, and the car randomly stalled. I tried starting it again, and the engine turned over but wouldn't start. I turned the key to off, back to 'on' for about 10 seconds, back to off, and started it again...and it worked fine.
Well, we went out for ice cream, and it did the same exact thing, except this time, it didn't even start the first time...but I repeated the process as before and it was ok.
Anyone know why it might be doing this? It's an APR chip if that makes any difference...
Car feels great chipped, but I'll have to return to stock if I'm constantly worrying about the car starting...
Thanks.
