Chip issues...

Have you got ALL 6 POSITIONS filled with programs?

If you just get a CEL, turn the ignition off and back on again within 1-2 seconds. Does it work at that point?

Do all of them need to be filled? If so, I wasn't aware that they needed to be ( is that documented anywhere? ).. I hope thats what the deal is.. It would make sense too, because I've always loaded 6 tunes on, where now I only have 4 on the chip.

Yeah if I turn the switch on and off a few times it will work. Just look for the wait to start light and you know it's good.. Sometimes it will work first time, other times it takes 5-10 trys..

Yep, all 6 need to be filled. I fought chip issues for over a YEAR trying to figure out why I would have intermittent problems with the chip not waking up. Fill all 6 and I'm sure your troubles will disappear.

By the way, it has to do with the way the chip boots in certain positions regardless of where the switch is oriented at the time.

That got it

I'll probably hit ya up soon on configuring a new map sensor in Minotaur if I cant figure it out, the stocker is about shot, thinkin it's been "overboosted" a few too many times.. It sits on 1 PSI at idle and on decel, I know it's not reading right going down the highway, pretty much just stays on 6 or 7, though you can hear the turbo spinning up and down... I'll buy a 4 bar sensor once I find a suitable one.
