TS Chip problems

I am trying to plug in my TS chip and it will not work. The truck refuses to start with it plugged in.

Back story

Truck is a 99.5 7.3l with minor mods and built trans

I had an edge evolution on the truck and used the controller to set the truck back to stock. The evo says the truck is in stock form and not programmed. I disconnected the batteries and allowed the truck to sit. I have tried the TS chip on a buddies truck and the chip works on his truck. He also has a TS chip and we just unplugged his and plugged in mine. We are sure that the computer is prepped correctly, we did it just the same as his.

Current
I have called TS and they want me to send the chip back to them to be reprogrammed. This cant be the problem because it works perfect on another truck (same year same tranny). I have heard on some forums that the edge will leave codes in your computer that will cause things like this. Is that true? If so how do I fix it.

Thanks, in advance for any information that you guys have.

Your PCM is not cleaned properly.

No, the Edge chip can leave nothing on the PCM that would keep a chip from connecting.

Thaks for the info on the edge. I will take the computer out and clean it again. I'm not really sure how much more cleaning that thing can take, but I will try again.

thanks

It's got to be clean on both sides, but dont remove the silver too much. If you go to far, it has to be retinned.

Is it burned for the proper PCM code? because what are the chances of both of your trucks having the same code.

I don't think different PCM codes would affect a chip from TS. That's assuming he's talking about a chip with TS tunes, not a TS chip with someone else' tunes. I only say this because I have a TS chip with TS canned tunes, and I think they are tunes for an OBS. My "stock" setting makes my truck a TURD. IE: commanding stock fuel injections for an OBS and not a SD.

This is true, dereku. However, with my chip on "stock" it's like I'm driving a Geo Metro compared to NO chip plugged in at all.
