Problem with Diablo Sport chip (help)

Ok, got the chip today, pulled the 02 X into the garage for surgery. Pulled everything out, cleaned the contacts, plugged the chip back in and shoved it all back together with the bolts in place. Now, the test. I turned the key sure eneough the wait to start light was on (not blinking) everything looked normal, except the "THEFT" light was blinking VERY rapidly. Can anyone please help me out? I am going to try cleaning the contacts once more and see if that helps.

Problem with Diablo Sport chip (help)

Unplugged everything re-cleaned the contacts (I believe there was one pin with a touch of laquer still on it). Hooked it up w/o screwing the computer holder back in (Screwed the harness into the chip) and tested it, started up great. Went out and tested it on the 54hp setting (wow) huge difference, 78 hp is wow again. I must say that thing rocks! anyone who doesnt have one, your missing out greatly! Now to buy the guages and the exhaust. Sorry for the "USER ERROR" post looking for help.
