nothing unhooked went in to a bigger brown wire with orange stripe right along the cab on the fire wall unhooked it all so everythings stock just cranks and cranks

Did you put the chip in with the key turned in the ignition?

make sure the chip is making good contact with the computer. don't forget to take the key out. as far as guages I'm assuming your doing a boost, trans temp, and egt right? if so you shouldn't have tapped into anything that would cause a no start issue.

went in to a brown and orange wire that had power only when key was on the chip is out of it now because it worked then and shouldnt of made a diff. because it worked then now it just doesnt start and cranks and cranks when you try to start it. the wire was a fused wire going in the the guages

what kind if chip are you working with?

If the key was in the ignition at all when you pulled the chip you possibly fried the PCM do you get a Wait to start light or anything?

NEVER EVER PULL OR INSTALL A CHIP WITH THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION!!!!!

Dave beat me to my point.

with a scanner saying no power to PCM I bet you toasted it. Check for WTS and see if you can hear the fuel pump turn on with the key.

and for everyone else. NEVER MESS WITH A CHIP WITH KEY IN IGNITION!!!!!!:doh:
