hello all......

I'll cut a long story short here.............

bought a chip for my 318i E30 touring 93'. Car running perfect before i installed the chip etc

Installed the chip as directed by the manufacturer and by the Zone article on how to install a chip etc.

I ran the car with the new chip, let it idle for 20 minutes, went for a drive, all good, felt smoother and there was a noticeable difference straight away.

Started the car this morning to go to work and it took a couple of turns of the key before it would start. always started on the first turn before the chip!!!

got in it to come home from work and it took me about half an hour to start the car, once it started there was no problems.

just seems to have a cold start problem with the chip installed....any ideas???

need help....FAST.

CHEERS GUYS

the other way is undoing the battery , then reconnecting as a sort of reset
