i cant figure out what im doing wrong. i dont know if im setting the chip up wrong or if im burning it wrong? thanks

 

Solid CEL probably means your ECU is fucked, but have you jumped it yet? Try a known good chip and report back.

 

Need more info. What type of chip,which burner, which program, size of your girls bra, etc.....

 

All very important info CSaddict is right though, we need some more info on the specifics before we can get a general idea of what the problem could be.

 

the ecu is good because i have a good chip i use and a another for testing ---- or at least i try too. the chip im using is an sst27sf512, and the willem programmer burner or what ever its called. i found a write up on how to write a basemap and i go through all the steps and do as they say, and i save it. ill open up the burning program, which is 97ja, go to load, and find my bin and it says binary file loaded ok. before i do all that ill erase the chip. the programer burns the chip and it says device verify ok, so i think the chip is good and i try it and a solid cel. anybody have any ideas.

 

sounds like you're forgetting to type 8000 into the field labeled offset

 

Under the stupid things category, make sure you put the chip into the ECU with the correct orientation.

I was testing an updated tune one night, it went bad 2 blocks away. I put the "emergency backup" chip in rotated 180 degrees (------- dim dome light...) it results in a solid cel.

Good news is that it doesn't hurt anything. I hope it's something that simple!

 

Yeah sounds like you forgot to use the 8000 offset it will ask you to verify that you want to do it that way just click ok
