Re: bad chips or is something else?

Are the jy chips the same letter coding? Just tossing out a guess here. Maybe the JY chips were from some incompatible configuration like a six cylinder?? You probably already know it but the chip holds that info and is programmed engine specific. Glad to hear you're back running good!
