Default Chip installation

Does anybody have any pictures or instructions on how to install a performance chip? I know it’s a very simple task to do, but I want to make sure I’m doing it properly and don’t connect the wrong wires.

The chip I have I bought off of e-bay, and it looks really simple. It’s only a set of wires going into a plastic block, and then the same wires coming out. Is it really that simple, and how can they be that simple? Is it just a minor currency that the block sends out through the wires that alters the function?

Noob question I know, but I know nothing about the chip technology.

If anyone has “how to’s” for the installation, thanks a lot. Messing with wires I don’t know is something I’d rather not do.

Ps. It's for a 93 Del Sol if that makes any difference

I am dead serious here, this is not a joke:

The only step to install that chip is to throw it in the garbage. You got scammed. That "performance chip" will make you loose horsepower, loose torque, loose gas millage.

Yeah, performance chips only work on performance motors.
