    I just did one of these the other day. had the same problem with no start and both lights coming on. it was my bad soldering, remember these boards are double sided, both sides of the board need to be soldered to the socket.

    A chip should work much better than tweaking the dizzy round.did you get it sorted out yet.didnt melt any tracks off the board when you unsoldered and soldered it in.jaymes the guy to talk too hes done a few now.maybe you have the chip round the wrong way or for the wrong ecu.

    should be easy enough then you need to make sure you dont get it too hot.did you cut the pins off the old eprom and unsolder one at a time or slowly do the whole chip out mission did you put a socket in or you just soldering the chip straight in.

    the socket fall apart from melting when you were installing it and removing it.these boards dont like to much heat you might of burnt a trace on the board.
