I have a d16z6 and I got a chip for it and the guy before me had already chipped it but removed it and cut J1. When I put it in and went for the test drive it felt the same and I decided to see if removing the chip would flash a code or go into limp mode. But nothing happened and rpm stayed the same. Plugged it back and still same I didnt sawder J1 In cuz ran out but its not lose I will try to post a pic.

In pic u can barley see the J1 wire but its there its a left over resistor wire. Do I neee a resistor there or is that fine.

 

As long as the wire is soldered in and making good contact on both sides, closing the circuit, it should work.

The only resistor you would put in there would be a 0 Ohm (single black line), amse thing as a strand of wire, left over resistor leg.

 

Ok I soldered the J1 and still same results. With car running and u remove the chip what should the car do because the car idles and doesnt even make any change what so ever?

 

Looked closley but dnt know if this will help. In back of ecu were all the points are. J1 and r54 solder touch a little will that be the cause of y my ecu wont read my chip?
