the ecu doesn't work on two known cars.

i don't smell a burnt board.

i didn't see any blown resistors.

Cut j1 & see if the ecu works. If it does, there is a problem with your soldering.

Check to make sure you put the chip back in the proper orientation. There should be a half circle marking on one end of chip. That end should be towards the connector side of the ECU. If the orientation is correct have your tuner burn another base map onto the chip. It may not have copied properly to the chip. If it happens again get ask your tuner to fix the problem that you seem to be blaming him for.

the burn is good and we know that because we put it in a differant ecu.

the last idea is the ecu prongs could have been bent.
