What bolt ons do you have? Your chipped ECU seems to be the culprit, as it is really the only thing you listed that can actually alter your fuel delivery somewhat. However, it's hard to say without more information.

How many miles are on your car? Did you do all the regular maintenance on it, such as spark plugs, ignition wires, cap/rotor, etc? Are you throwing any codes?

It seems like the ecu is giving you the problem.

Okay....it seems you are pretty stock. So I going to assume that it's your ECU. However, it could be another problem. It just seems to be your ECU.

What kind of "chipped ECU" is it? With your modifications, I'd stay with your stock ECU. Try putting your stock one back in (unless it's your stock one that was "chipped") and see how your car changes.

I have been having the same problem! I am going to set mine back to stock and just go get it tuned with my SAFC 2!

What ECU is it? For OBD-1 USDM ECU's just clip the J1 jumper wire and it will go back to factory settings.

These links should help you out!
