Need Help Computer ?

I had a banks chip and i went to take it out to put my tw chip in there. And i read on the computer Remanufactured computer. Then there was a big bank sticker on the there and i was wondering if my tw chip would still work on it. Actully i put the tw chip on and i counldn't really see a diffference. And then my truck wouldn't start so i took it out. I need to put new glow plugs and it was like 45 degrees here but still I would think it should start. I need more answers Please

Did the wait to start light come on? my guess is that it didn't. Probably need to clean the contacts more on the computer. PCM reman shouldn't matter.

The contacts on the PCM are coated with a clear coating. It is easiest to do this by removing the PCM thru the firewall under the Master cylinder. You can then take it to a bench and see what you are doing. I used a flat razor and scraped it off. Be careful not to go too far because you will scrape off the contacts.

Yea the wait to start light came on for a long time. But i think i just solved the problem it just needed pluged in. MY truck with not start if it is 50 degrees or below. I think my truck needs rebuild to with new rings and pistons and all the stuff. But thats for your help. I will clean the contacts on the computer.
