Default Car wont start with chipped ECU stock ECu start right away...HELP!!

So up at Mid Ohio this weekend and I went to my car at the end of the day Friday and it wouldnt start. The only thing I could really think of was trying stock ECU. I swaped and it strated right up, switched back to the chipped and nothing. Anyone think of anything here!
Cheers

The chip may not be secured down correctly. If the chip is socketed down remove it and re secure it.

Default Did you have a socket put in?

If you did, do what Blitzkrieg said...nothing to be afraid of...open the ECU, and push down on the chip.

If you didn't have a socket put in, you should probably mail the ECU back to whomever soldered the chip onto the board, and have them redo it. No big deal.
