I drove my car around last night, stopped for a bit and changed chips, then when I went to start my car it wouldn't fire. Changed chips back and it still wouldn't fire.

Today I think I narrowed it down to a fuel issue. I sprayed in some starter fluid and it fired for about 1 or 2 seconds.

I'd rather not have to replace everything in my fuel system for obvious reasons, so I could use a little help here.

Fuel pump primes. I can hear is turn on and the schrader valve seems to spray fuel everywhere (no I haven't checked the pressure cause I don't have a guage). I'm guessing that the injectors aren't firing any fuel in. Could the car run fine and then not start because all of a sudden all the injectors are clogged?? Seems unlikely. Could I have shorted out my computer when I changed chips?? Everything else the computer does seems fine, except that the drivers side fan always seems to come on when it never did before. Any help would be appreciated...a holiday weekend without the camaro stinks.

i think there is a fuse for the injectors in the fuse box. if thats not the problem, you might of fried the computer when you changed the chip. did you pull the ecm fuse from the fuse box before you disconnected the computer? that might of caused it.

 

You have a computer problem. If you pressed down too hard on
the chip to install it you may have cracked the circuit board.
You should only install the chip far enough to allow the locking
arms to pull it down when you lock them into position.
