Default I need you guys now more than ever!!!! HELP
I just picked up my car from the dealership where it got the 30,000 mile service. I have an APR cip and I think that my deal might have pulled the ol switcheroo. I drove my car off the lot and it seemed like it just wasn't pulling like it normally does around 3000 RPM. Like I don't have the power I normally do. What should I do? Please help.

Try unplugging ECU, let sit for 5 min, plug back in, it may be in limp mode.

Default How would it have got in limp mode?
Would the diagnostic they ran screwed something up?

Default There will be more than one printed circuit board if the chip is still in there.
If you only have one circuit board, with all of the chips soldered directly to the board (not looking like they have been re-soldered), then that ECU is not chipped.
