I just tried to install a VPC 2835 D chip in my car. This setup is for more fuel and a car with cams(I'm still running stock cams). The chip I had before was just a basic VPC chip....not setup for bigger turbos and more fuel. Don't know how HKS gave me this chip when I bought the whole kit, but they did.
The problem. I put the chip in...and for some reason now, I get a check engine light, and the car will stall if I don't give it some throttle. I tried to take some fuel out down low but it didn't help. It also caused my car to to pull too much from the battery? The lights got dim and I had to jump the car to get it started again. I have a Optima Red.
I reset the ecu before I put the chip in. The good news(somewhat) is that the car will run rich now that this chip is in. I was never able to get any kind of black smoke when I gave the car a little rev. Now I get a nice puff when I give it some good revs.
I put the old chip back in and the the problem(and check engine light) went away. I run 43-45 psi FP at idle. Is this chip too aggresssive? Or should I try the C chip? I'll be getting cams soon anyway once my lean problems are solved.
Thanks for any advice.
