Answer 1

Just installing a chip if not done correctly can damage the vehicles computer. Even if installed correctly they can stress the engine and reduce engine life.

Answer 2

hey may have just blew a fuse i would start there. also try taking the chip out and plugging everything the way it was before you may be ok if not you may have to take it to a shop to have the computer tested
