went to put on a 6 pos. chip on a 2001 7.3, unhooked batterys and everything, went to start and all it will do is crank, with the chip on or off the truck, any ideas???

 

What kind of chip did you use?

 

it was a custom one from PHP but the pcm was fried, i just swapped him with the one out of my 2003 7.3 and he's back on the road

 

is it on the road with the chip in it? i would take that chip back and make them buy you that pcm they must have done something wrong when they were making the chip.

 

my chip is in it seems how its my pcm, but i told him to call them about it, but we also could've fried it by static electricity, unlikely but still possible

 

Were the keys in the ignition or the ignition not completely in the OFF position?

Did you overclean your contacts or not clean them enough?

 

key was in his pocket so yes, and even if the contacts got over cleaned it should still run without the chip shouldnt it??

 

Even if you over clean the PCM it will still run without the chip. Static can kill them, but it is EXTREAMLY rare.

I have never even unhooked the batterys when installing chips, just key out of the switch.

Very weird!

 

That is weird..

Can he send the PCM and the chip back to PHP and have them test both to see what the issue is?

 

thats what i'm having him do, in the mean time i gave him my chip and PCM so he can still have his trucks seems how mine is down anyways, i'll let you guys know what the issues ends up being
