Gigi? Is that you?

Have you disconnected the battery and taken out the chip and tried it?

What other mods do you have other than your chip?

Have you done any WOT runs? Try(safely, now!) a few 'short' ones and see if that 'cleans' out the combustion chambers.

The chip was not in it when it happened because I had to take most of the mods off for Ford to warranty new motor. The only thing on it was shorty headers, gear, cat back exhaust, stall, lower pulley. Then I drove home from dealer with that on there, disconnected battery, put on the rest of mods that I had to take off for the factory to warranty new motor and put chip in, left battery disconnected overnight. Went for a 50 mile cruise, shut truck off, turn it back on and light went on. Last motor had NOS, had to take that out for new motor. Do you think the NOS had anything to do with because they only put a short block in and used all the old motor parts. i sold the nos not using juice any more i did'nt install the nos or take it out could there be some thing out of adjustment due to the nos? sorry so long i just want to give as munch info. to see if anybody can help me.
