Do I have a Hypertech chip????
Sounds like a dumb question I know but I'm not the first owner so I guess it could be possible. Anyway as some of you know I've had some computer problems. Today I removed the stock computer and installed my "new" remanufactured puter that I got from Ford. Here's what it looks like....
Here's how the remanned computer looked out of the box (at the top of the computer)
The stock computer had the "chip" where the black plug SHOULD have been. Is that where aftermarket chips are usually plugged in?
I found a small piece of black plastic mounted to the top of the stock puter. I pulled it off and it says Hypertech. Since the fan was not running with the mew computer in I decided to swap it over onto the new comp. So, my question is, Is there a small black chip with the words Hypertech on every Ford EEC or did I have a chip and not know it? Cause if I did, I'm really disappointed in it. lol.

RE: Do I have a Hypertech chip????
it was just a little piece of black plastic with an aluminum bracket on it. It plugge dinto the hole you see in the picture in my first post. It says HYPERTECH on it. and "1996" which is odd because I have a 97. Anyway It's been on there since I bought the car in '02 cause I have never messed with the computer before. Just wondering if it is indeed a performance chip.

It possibly is. Did you have computer problems then? If so I would have just pulled the chip out and see if it worked alright. I had a chip from diablo come with my supercharger and when I plugged it in, it wouldn't work for sh*it until I unplugged it.

I'm starting to doubt this will help anything...

Where are most chips located anyway? I bought a stang from a guy that claimed it had a superchip to go with the mass air unit that's on it. Where would this "chip" be at?

It may be trying to relearn everything and oh my bad for not reading line 2, lol. Have you removed the chip and see how it runs?
