Not sure why it took them so long to do your chip? It is a 15 minute job.

Disconnect the battery, and recheck the connection at the ECU. Then reattach the battery, do a throttle body adjustment and you should be good to go.

left my ignition on for about 5 min with the battery on a charger
I dont think thats the right way to do it. Hope you didnt fry anything, such as your ecu by doing that.

thats how you do the throttle body adustment you put the key in the on position right b4 you make the full turn that would turn the car on, you will hear some clicking and some other interesting noises thats the throttle body, and then eveything should work just fine.. Ill see if i can find the APR insalation crap i got dont know if i still have it..

He said he had a battery charger hooked up to the battery while the ignition was in the on position... I dont think your supposed to charge your battery with the ignition on, or with the +/- cables from the car hooked up to it at the same time.

I doulbt that the battery charger with the battery connected would be a problem.

I think either there was a soldering problem or the ECU isn't installed correctly
