Hey guys!

I finally got my 24 lb injectors installed onto my 355 today, and went to change my prom, but can no longer erase the chip for some reason!

I am able to read it, but I cannot either erase, or program the chip. I am 100% sure that all the poles are making good contact, so it is kind of pointing towards the chip being no good.

Has anyone else heard of a chip just up and failing like this?

 

Yep.

Static electricity will kill them instantly.

Eveyr now and then they just fail.

99% of mine are dead because i stepped on them or broke or pin or other physical damage though.

Had a couple fail for other reasons.

Well, that sucks, lol

I can't seem to find any on ebay, is there another cheap source to get a couple?

I have no spares

 

They aren't made anymore (haven't been for years). The wells have pretty much dried up for them (even Moates is out, and he had thousands).

Use a 27SF512 instead.

 

Remember you have to do an erase on them first and change the offsets.See them herehttp://www.moates.net/documentation.php?documentation_id=20

 

Cool!

I'll pick one or two up, and use a BIN stacker to make it all work

 

Make it 4.
Once you get a *decent* calibration, burn it, test drive it, and then wrap it in anti-static material, and put it in the gove box. You always, always, always want a known good chip, on hand to get you home in an emergency. Might even set up an entire spare ecm, for that once in a million day of when the lights go out.
