CPS failure after chip

How many of you guys have had the dreaded CPS failure not long after installing your chip? I was reading one of the previous posts and I had exactly, I mean exactly, the same problem not 2 weeks after installing my chip. I changed out the CPS and no more problems yet. Not blaming anyone, but just wondering if the change in performance of the engine could cause pre-mature failure. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif

Stalling after a chip install is usually indicative of bad contact between the chip and the computer.

Also, if you unplug your chip while the truck is on, you will fry your computer. So, any bad connections, or bouncing the connector around can fry your computer also.

CPS is completely independant of the chip. They just fail. No rhyme, no reason.
