Unichip go boom.

superhawk44 · 03-27-2005, 10:09 PM

Besides telling me to get another EM I need some advice about my unichip. I was driving the other day after some snow about 30mph or less when suddenly, nothing RPM's just drop and car shuts off. I pull over and crank it a few times, nothing, like theres no gas or spark. Pull the carpet and unplug the chip, car starts right up. Anyone had this happen or any idea why, Raj? Haven't tried to plug it back in yet but I will soon, I checked all the wiring and connections all seem fine to me. Any insight would be appreciated, thanks, CHRIS........

Tried it again tonight and nothing, just cranked over.

IIRC i recall someone have similar problems about 4 years ago. I think just wiggling the connector fixed it.

Have you tried reinstalling it?

Not yet but will soon. All those plugs have to snap in very tightly so it seems unlikely.

bump for help, still no luck. Can't afford new EM.
