Z-chip problem

I just received and installed the z-chip. The car starts and runs for a few seconds and then dies. install the sensor back to stock and the car runs fine. Anyone out there can help me?

did it just like the instructions. It's fairly idiot-proof. Seems like a dead box.

Does not sound like you have the tachometer connected.

Your best advice can be found at www.zchip.net.

***Edit****
Just spoke with you via phone and hopefully our advice has got you worked out.

Thanks

^I always find it helpful to speak with the manufactuer before I post an issue. If they resolve it right away it prevents a PR headache for the vendors. Now if they dont fix it after a couple of calls then I would post, but just posting up before the problem identified just gives fanboys a chance to chime in. Just my .02.

Only reason I posted in the first place is it was late and nobody answered at TTP the first couple times I called. I was trying to resolve an issue because I had to leave. Stellar support from TTP, the guy gave me his personal cell number to contact him once I got through on the business line.
