Ok i bought a dsmchips stage 3 ecu a few months ago and it is great. but last week my car started to get a random misfire and my boost gauge is working normally again. is it possible for the chip to mess up? or what else would cause this?

I don't think that a misfire has anything to do with the chip u bought ...start by checking all ignition components including the power transistor over time those get weak..i had a misfire last summer and it end up being the sparkplug wires were shot ...hope this helps..:):):thumb:

Check to make sure that the knock sensor is connected correctly. Mine wasnt and the boost gauge seemed to act like normal, pluged it back in and it became a knock gauge again. WTF
 
ok i just did a headgasket and cams like 2 weeks ago, but i thought i plugged all my sensors back in ill have to go over it again. thanks for the help
