I chipped my ecu myself with tegasaurus. I thought we did a good job. We tried it on his car, i thought, and it worked fine. Im pretty sure he revved it up to like 4000 and it worked fine on his car. I put it into my car with a new chip i made and it goes into limp mode. Right now i have no idea why. I tried another ecu in my car and i got it to go above 4000 rpm so i know its JUST my ecu that is the problem.

anyway, does anyone know why an ECU would go into limp mode? it worked fine before chipping.

this is the last thing i need to fix before my car runs fine

check the connections of your socket to the board, when we chipped my friends(mazda) there was a bad connection at first and it ran like ****.
edit: put in the origional chip and see if it still runs limpo

i resoldered some of those connections. im going to try again.

thanks for the tip

Did you try another chip?

 

try cutting the j1 to put it back to stcok just to see if it goes out of limp mode. if so then you messed up the soldering somewhere

 

i cut the j1 on an ecu i did in the past and it didnt take it out of limp mode.

 

i fixed it. just resoldered everything.

 

good to hear
