jet chips suck

I found a jet chip in the computer of a 93 formula that was wrecked that my friend has and decided I would give it a try in my car. It ran good for like a few days then the car started running weird, it was stuttering and missing and not running right, but the cooling fans were on all the time(ac was not on). So I pulled the chip and put it back in thinking that it would reset itself and it did, for like another week. I was driving home and all the sudden my speedometer went to zero and the car started missing. I got to my driveway and put it in park, then it started idling at 1500 rpm. I shut it off and then the car would not start, and I could not hear my fuel pump come on when I turned on the key. I thought my fuel pump had died, but then I pulled the chip out and just put the prom in and it cranked right up. Next I swapped the computer out since I have a delphi computer I thought that putting a original computer in might fix the problem. I did that tuesday and I just pulled the chip out again because it was becoming hard to start and it wasnt running right. Anyone have any thoughts?

So you're basing your opinion of a computer chip off of one that was pulled out of a wrecked car that you know nothing about?

Remind me not to ask you for advice...

well being as it is just a standard tune for all 93 a4 cars I was expecting it to work properly. Just frustrated thats all. When the car runs, it runs awesome but then it just gets worse. I am confused with the thing.

If you remove the chip and put the stock one back in and it still acts the same then its not the chip.

93s don't have a memory. Once you turn off the car the errors are erased.

Your problem is something else.
