Default If you have a 97 you should not have a throttle servo, I thought that was on the dbw's only

are you sure you got the non dbw chip and not a DBW. What is the updated chip version you got.

Default No i had it at a shop-- they knew what they were doing--pluged it into vag tool and said that (more)

the throttle something was malfunctioning-- even in the non dbw cars there is still a mechanism that varies the angle ans speed the throttle opens ect-- the new program aparently looks for that where the stock and old version of giac software does not--- it would not run the new L2 program-- i hadn to put the update just before that (about 8 months old)

Default So do you think it is your car or the new chip.

Maybe have them reburn the chip again or burn that file on a new chip. I have seen chips go bad and they will throw codes.
