ts 6 position chip problem
I bought a ts 6 position chip off ebay for my 2000 7.3 powerstroke manual. When i plug it in the high idle lopes. And on very other setting there no power. Going through any of the settings changes nothing. When i step on it it does not accelerate at all. What could be the problem?
|
And when i am sitting at a stand still and step on it. It just pours smoke.
|
Did you confirm that the chip is for the correct PCM code? Who did you purchase the chip from? Whose tunes are on it?
|
Yes they do match up. They are the stock tunes from ts
|
Are you certain all of the contacts on the PCM are clean? But not damaged? I know this is very basic, but we have to start with the simplest possibilities. I know when I first installed my chip I swore the contacts on the PCM had all of the film removed, but I had to go back and do a little more. Just don't go so far that they are bronze. I used a combination of a toothpick and a very light rubbing with a scotch pad.
|
now when i put the chip in it will not let my truck start at all. What is going on?
|
It really sounds like a poor connection between the chip and the pcm.
|
If you pull the chip, does the truck run normally?
|
I can see copper tho
|
yes it runs fine then
|
Here is a link from DP Tuner showing proper installation. There is a good image of how the contacts should look after cleaning a few pages into the document. There is kind of a fine line between good and clean and taking off too much.

I installed it properly.

the chip is the problem
|
Yeah, that's the only possibility. If the truck runs fine without it, then it's the chip. Either a bad connection or bad tunes.
