Put it back to stock. Is a chip going to increase displacement, compression ratio, valve lift, or stroke? All a chip does is play with the timing, fuel curve, and maybe the shift points. How much did you shell out for this chip?

Every body on this site says a chip is a total waste of money. I'd set it back to stock settings and try to sell it or return it if ur lucky. Sorry man.

I set it back to stock and it runs great. Its wierd that it would make it loose power. I got it for free from my buddy he sold his jeep and said it worked great. HA
