Apten Chip, no start

[sk1er17]

Hey guys, i just installed my Apten Flip Chip. My car starts in stock and 87 octane performance but wont start in 93 octane performance.... is my service port dissabled or do i need 93 octane in there? I need to know quick so i can put my car back together... before my parents go outside

thanks

It has nothing to do with the fuel in the tank. It would run on the lower octane, just not perform as well. Beyond that, ya got me!

im hoping it just needs to be cleaned more... im doing that now

 

[sk1er17]

cleaning didnt help..

i made those connections spotless... still doesnt work. I guess my service port is dissabled right? The only problem with that is i thought my car shouldnt start at all, let-alone in the 87 performance mode...

lol wheres brian!

if your theft light flashes really quickly your service port is disabled same thing happned with my i just sent him my computer he fixed it and overnighted it back i think that you are not in 87 performance mode but infact the chip is turned off when it will start

 

[sk1er17]

well in that case i would also have to send him my chip to get reburned because there's 3 setting on the switch 1, stock 2, 87 performance 3, 93 performance.... my truck starts in 2 out of the 3...

Don't give up, also send an E Mail. Brian is a really good guy and he will definately resolve the situation.

Let us know what the problem was.

The problem was that the serivce port was dissabled. The solution is one of two options. First, you can send your eec to Apten and they will activate the port. This option leaves you without a ride for a few days. The second option is to do it yourself. This can be done my soldering two jumpers between two sets of pads. See the photo:

question to SGR1600, i have a 2000 Ford Explorer 5.0 and i think i may already have jumpers connecting those 2 points. here is a picture of my ECU:

so are they already connected or do i need to somehow bypass or remove those connectors? thanks.
