Help, L Won't Start After Mods!!
 

Put in my new mods:
Chip
crank case breather
boost bypass

Went to start it and it won't start, just turns and seems to be dumping a ton of gas. The THEFT light is blinking too. Anyone had this happen???

Pull that chip and make sure to clean it carefully.Unhook battery first.

Happened to me once.

Turned out I needed a new PCM, ouch!
Goodluck man, i hope its not that....like the others said, check your chip connection and make sure the contacts are clean.

Take the chip out, try to start it.If it starts I bet you didn't clean the contacts enough.

if the theft light is flashing its def the chip contacts, it will start with the chip out. I used to have a diablo and a superchip that worked fine im my 01L. then a second superchip wouldnt start in it. I ended up having to make the contacts on the PCM connector higher with solder. But if this is the first time youve done a chip, its probably just not cleaned well enough.

My vote as well...

Iam voting not clean contacts.:rolleyes: As said before, pull the chip and see if it starts

Thank guys, i shouldn't have freeked out but you know how it is! It was the chip. I cleaned it twice, as good as i thought it would get. Turns out that obviously wasn't good enough. I did it again, cleaned it raw, then used alcohol on the contacts (with a Q-tip). IT WORKS, HOOO RAAAHHH!!

Test run? You'd better believe it! This thing RIPS now, as many of you know! As it sits i have:
Chip
Brether cap
Boost bypass
K&N filter with airbox (drilled holes)
4# pulley is on the way (should be here next week)

I can't even imagine what it's going to be like after the pulley.

I didn't realize that the chip would allow the rpms to run up to around 5700? Seems to run to about 50 in first and 80 in second. Or close to that, i couldn't watch too closely. The boost gauge looks to go about at 12 now, and it was around 9 without the chip but with the aribox mod.

Thanks again, sorry for the freakout!!
