I recently got a mail order tuned chip and have had nothing but problems with it. It was a simple street tune for bolt ons. 13/4 Lt's cai tb egr air vats delete etc stock injectors stock gears. After initially trying to install it the car idled ok but ran great. However I lost my speedometer/odometer. Somewhere along the line I developed ignition problems and a no start condition. After throwing a bunch of money at it....New ignition switch optispark plugs wires coil and Icm the car still had no spark....wind up being vats related and bypassed it under the dash. After all the upgrades now the chip tune struggles to start the car...seems to idle low. Shifty throttle response and stalls out around 2800-3000. I've contacted the tuner and he says he's never heard of issues like this and that I must have installed the chip or m oates adapter wrong. I watched the YouTube video and followed the instructions . Anybody have any suggestions before I ship the chip back so he can go thru the tune? I'm gonna pull everything and take a picture of the orientation of install Tia guys......

I'm sorry no one replied to your post, but this site deals with '98 and later cars which do not have tuning chips.
