New Chip problem.....

[RedRocket]

Hey guys,

I just bought a new ECU with K04 software but when I plugged it in I was not even able to start the car. I did not install any hardware yet but I should be able to start the car at least right? Do I need to do an adaptation with a vag or something? I know my O2 Sensors are way off, would that cause a problem? Any and all help IS appreciated. :)

edit: Do I need to clear the short term variables?

maybe you dont have the right program.... especially for the chip that you have.

If you do not get a Check Engine Light when you first put the key on accessory you will not be able to start the car.

I got the CEl lit up like when it's fine. It shoud be the right program. This is a 557 P ECU. Mine is originally a 557 N but I know the P works too. This ECU was running an A4 as well before I got my hands on it too.

check to make sure the chip is seated properly.

Opened up the ECU, the chip looked fine. Wasn't out of place or anything.

Got it working. So funny, I had to play with the throttle like it was a deisel. Now to swap the turbo, thanks for your help Skene.
