sct chip problem..

[focusonfocus]

if u still remember me..
mine is old old old programming done by you guys..

last time i told you about car stalling problem..it is fixed by pcv hose..


but this time, it definitely hardware is acting up..

i thought it was aftermarket coil pack and wires..
because i had misfiring problem..worst when start engine when cold..
it was like it has high high cam without tuning and car shuts off..
i replaced almost everything i could think of(2 weeks ago) and problem was there..

after removing sct chip and let it sits over night and starts car cold in the morning, problem is gone..
without chip for 4 days, cars run fine but not fun to drive at all..

i m looking at chip and looks like 1 pin is questionable, looks ran hot or shorted or something..

3rd pin from the right


also fan doesn't turn on randomly..1 day car was overheating and pulled relay out and in, fan came on..
and once in a while, when i remove key out of ignition, fan still on, had to pull fuse out and put back in to shut off..
but this is not an issue when chip is not in..

what is your thought??
if this still covers under warranty, can you remove options??
-Aggressive shifting at wide-open throttle (Auto Trans Only)-->want to keep
-Custom idle around 1000rpm-->remove
-Early fan activation-->remove
-Valet mode - 30mph Max (with 2 or more programs)-->remove
-OEM stock file-->want to keep

and can you add this in??
-Alternator disabled at wide-open throttle

my full name is sun goan kim and i think i got this chip 4 or more years ago..
