Well my day from hell continues, started doing it the other day then today, almost left me stranded in rush hour traffic, managed to limp back to the shop, and now, its was happening every few minutes. Again, check power to the relay, good, checked the ECM relay control, appeared to be fine, scanned data and it was weird sometimes, but wouldn't cut out like before indicating a bad computer. It finally did its CEL flash and the relay stuttering-power was fine but the computer's signal was messed up, if I manually grounded the relay, it was ok. This is aggravating,
So undid the chip extender and its fine, so called Aries_Turbo, we agreed to put the chip directly into the computer, and I rechecked powers and grounds to the SMEC, again, good. Drive home, didn't hiccup once so looks like my van, for some reason, doesn't like the Ostrich or chip extenders anymore?
