Question What does this mean?

Trying to install a diablosport chip, but not having any luck.
After leaving the ignition on for a minute the theft light blinks a 1 blink--pause--6 blink sequence, then starts over.

Anybody know what this means?PLEASE
And yes the comp. terminals are very clean.

I have tried that several times, there is NOTHING on the terminals. I have read about letting the battery drain, does this like something I should try? anybody.

I don't see where it would need anymore than a few minutes to drain....

And I'm not doubting you, but make sure all that stuff is off, I think it was said that if you hold a light directly above it you call really tell. and if it's not this, then I'm not to sure, program error on the chip maybe. Tuned for the wrong PCM code, call the tuner and varify the code on the box for the chip and see what they say.

Don't drain the actual battery itself. Disconnect the negative terminal, headlights on... till theres no more power left. Then reconnect and start from scratch...

osumason, I got this right off the Site i bought my chip from.
Sounds like your problem

Any known problems?
If you have a vehicle between the years 1998-2000 there's a very small possibility that you have a vehicle that requires two jumpers to be soldered into the computer. There's a random handful of computers which the service port (where the chip plugs into) has been disconnected. This doesn't allow the information from the chip to get to where it needs to. Usually when you're trying to start the vehicle with a chip installed your Anti-Theft light flashes real quickly (Diablo and Superchips both offer a free jumper installation service). The small possibility that you may need this jumper added needs to be considered if you own one of these years and you purchase a chip.

But if that where indeed what is wrong, wouldn't the computer not know that the chip is there? So the computer should act like there is no chip and run off the stock parameters?
Just curious

Did you open up the computer and clean both sides of the board??? Probably a stupid question, but just throwing another suggestion out there.......JR
