A: No, just as long as the chip is not exposed to a black light, the program remains intact.
Q: If I incur any problems with the performance of the chip, what should I do?
A: Go to the bathroom and take a dump! Just kidding. Pull out the Thunder chip and plug in the stock eprom, run the car for a few hours and plug the Thunder chip back on the ECU. You should be okay.
Q: Will there be souldering required if I want to put back my stock chip?
A: No, an IC connector is installed in the original position of your eprom chip. You can pull out the chip and push in your old chip.
