Sounds like the Fuel Sender.
I had a similar problem last year. All of a sudden the car wouldn't start. I would turn the key, the engine would turn over once, and then would die. It turns our the fuel sender(part of the fuel pump system) had an electrical failure. The engine was starving for fuel.
Once they figured it out, they had no trouble fixing it. As for the chip...... I have no idea if they will run a diagnostic on the ECU.
