remove your chip, see if it starts. If it does then the problem is your chip. If it doesn't try and hook a scan tool to it. If it does not connect, your pcm maybe bad.

. the chips can do unexpected things.

have you checked your IDM?

ok the tw chip i had in there made the truck not start awhile back so i took it out and put the bullydog back in and it started so takeing the chip out was the first thing i did no difference. i did hook a scaner to it and it said error but i thought if the pcm was bad the dashlights would act differnt.and the idm and pcm was my next thought can i pull them out and take them to ford to be tested?

does the wait to start light come on when you are cranking? Have you checked all your fuses?

[richied-ss]

They will if they have the truck with them. In other words you need to take your truck to the dealership.

well damn if i did that i would just let them fix it. if the scan tool said err and the dash lights were acting normal could it still be the pcm or idm and how would i know which one?
