I Got My Chip Today And I Went To Installed It Then When I Connected The Prongs And Then Connected My Negetive Battery Cable. The Pcm Fuse Blew Out Then I Called Jet Chip And They Said To Call The Dealer. But When I Took The Chip Out I Tried To Put It Back Together Without The Chip And Now My Car Wont Start Or Turn Over And I Get A Code Saying Power Steering. So I Dont Know What The **** Is Going On But Any Help Would Be Awesome. And I Did Plug The Prongs Into The Plug In So I Know Its Connected But Its Not Recieving Data From The Chip Or My Car! Also It Acted The Same With The Chip In It. But Im Still Under Warrenty Should I Play Dumb And Have The Dealership Fix It Or Would They Find Out

You capatilized every single word. . . im so impressed. I would just play dumb if I was you.

i would try to play dumb... but at the same time the dealer is most likely going to know what happened, kind of like the cell phone company "did you drop your phone in water" when they already know the answer is yes

you fucked up and they're gonna now you fried the damn thing. man up and make jet chip pay for it or see if you can get a trifecta tune to overwrite the damage.

Have Trifecta Tune that and be done with it. Guys it's so much better than Jet, I don't think we have lost a car yet due to a Trifecta Tune

Jet Chip Module purchasers need to make sure they are installing the module in the correct terminal connector! 06 and 07 2.2 ECMs have 2 connectors and according to the factory service manuals they are both 73 pin connectors so you can install the module in the wrong connector.

C1 connector has 34 wires running through it and the C2 connector has 42 wires running through it. Not all the pins are used.

C2 is the connector the module goes into -- look to see that it is the connector with the most wires -- it controls the fuel injectors, ignition, H02s sensors, etc.

C1 connector runs fans and provides power to the powertrain -- if you hear fans after installation you have it in the wrong place!!!!

The Jet Chip installation instructions only show a generic GM ECM so they are not very helpful.

Actually read SSNA's post and you will see that if he has thrown a power steering code he plugged the chip into the wrong socket. So don't blame Jet Chip.


BTW... how many users do you think have blown up their motors on tuning from HP Tuners?

I've read 6 threads in the last week about having someone tune their car and blowing up internals...

right but that is b/c hpt is tuner based, made for street duning, etc, jet chip is a plug and go, now if hpt was something like trifeca tuning, i nbet no one would have blown engines b/c of them...think like this...how many people have blown their **** on hahns tune for ss/tc vs. how many do you think will blow it using a software like htp? less b.c hahn makes the tune and keeps it safe

Brother I have this chip installed in my cat had a couple ofproblems the chip had to be sent back, but nothing like whats happening to you. Talk to MIKE EXT 112 at jets tech assist this guy will work wonders they ended up using his buddies cars to make it work, I am strongly impressed with the chip and the service I got from JET.

Use the top black plug, not the grey one.

I've always been advised against using chips for cars, always go with a tuner.

Um how did you put the chip on if there are only 2 connectors on the 2.2 ECU? OrngBalt bought it and made a thread on how the "chip" won't fit a 2.2 and in addition to that, Jet took the 2.2 chip off it's website after they were aware that all three ECUs are different and how it didn't fit the 2.2. That is why they only list 2.0 and 2.4 chips.

Save you money from the chip, get at a tune, that's what I'm doing.

^^ you haven't been paying attention at all... jet did recall its chips for the 08's yes and revised and re-released it... if you check out their site they have a 2.2 chip as does jegs.

OrngBalt

Not for the 06's, I had them remove it from the site because they said it fit, when it didnt

SI FTL

I had a jet stg2.. sure it ran, sure it idle'd like ****.. powersteering jerked around. Sent it back, they sent me another. i properly installed it, everything.. same thing but this time my speedometer would spasm 10,30,90mph on a stand still, rpms would drop.. car stalled. Again, returned it A MONTH AGO! jet has YET to pay me back and says ill be getting it end of the month. Might work for some ppl.. idk i think its bullshit. As far as im concerend their customer service blows dick, and they just talk smoke.

/vent

OrngBalt

hmmm... go back three posts and see where they recalled the 08 chips because they werent working.

You ranting would be like me ranting that I think its a waste because the one I bought wasn't designed for my car. "It didn't fit, didn't help, no gains "

Well considering it wasn't designed for your model... I can imagine it wouldn't work

SI FTL

ahh, you are an almighty jet believer i see. Recalled jet all 08" jet chips huh? even for the 2.4's? Jet never told me this, and they kept on telling me bullshit, To this day i've yet to hear anything from them about recalls when i call and ask them about my refund, for my chip, made for my car, that didn't work

OrngBalt

I am a Jet believer, but more than that, I don't see bashing a product that has been around for 20 years and has a known recall for the 08 cobalt product because it was not working.

SI FTL

..why isn't jet explaining this to me then? They tell me it was install issues.
Being my first purchase with jet, and being a horrible purchase with not so great customer service.. why wouldn't i "bash"?

Whitty

the 2.2 chip was recalled i have no idea about the 2.4 since they have a different ECM might be a topic for the 2.4L guys in the 2.4 forum... just an idea ?

also 2.2 chips and 2.4 are different parts all together to compare them is apples to oranges.

2.4L chip is model number (stage 2) 10708S, (stage 1) 10708

2.2L chip is model number (stage 2) 10707S, (stage 1) 10707


theres the model numbers if you dont believe me.


thanks for clearing that up :P

i sent the car to a dealer ship just acted dumb to get them too look at the ecm or ecu, i told that my fuse keeps blowing then i said i checked the plug in and nothing was between the pegs. then they blamed it on my system 12' sub woofer i said lolololololololol noooooooooooo i had that installed perfosinaly, and it for about 6 months. they said ok. then i would call them every evening, then called then and asked, they replaced my ecu for free wooo wooo. so now i have a trifecta tune on me way so im pretty pumped for that.
