Need some help from someone with experience in chips and hand held tuners.
I have no history on the car, that being said I’m running very rich on the drivers bank, car breaks up under WOT. I can roll into the pedal and the car kinda performs but it’s not right.
I found this chip is plugged into my ECU I believe this is for the PATS since the vehicle won’t start when it’s removed.( I can remove the chip after it’s started and it will stay running)
I have road tested the car with the chip in and the chip out. Car reacts the same no matter what. My question is could I be dealing with a flash in my ECU? Could someone not knowing what they were doing loaded in some kind of custom tune that’s causing my issue? I’m trying to familiarize myself with handheld tuners like SCT but im not on how they work. I also don’t want to purchase a new ECU if I could possibly buy a handheld and reflags the ECU myself. TIA
