    What brand of chip have you installed?

    A couple months back I installed a JC chip and my car was idling roughly for a day or two before it smoothed out. I asked a friend about this and I guess the ECU is going through a "re-learning" process since there's a new chip in there with different data on it. Just drive it for a bit....it should improve.

    Don't forget, premium grade fuel only!

        Ya, that will do it for you guys, the ECU has to adjust to everything, don't worry.

          I figured it's trying to figure out wtf is going on! lol
          It feels more powerful up in the revrange, but is a little balky down low (sometimes) it has stalled a few times & bogged once.

          Thanks
