Default Chip change and now it wont start

Ok well I changed from old autothority chipset to the Lindsey set and now the car wont start. As soon as I turn the key I hear a rapid clicking noise (DME relay?) an the car wont start. Any ideas? I also added a 3bar FPR and the boost enhancer if that maters, otherwise the car is stock.

This happens if the DME and KLR chips are interchanged. Ask me how I know.

Make sure that you have the chip facing in the right direction. The "v"notch is what I mean. It is possible to put it in the wrong way. You'll have to either check your directions or do a search,as I don't remember which way it goes.

OK I figured out the problem, the chips were labeled wrong, so the DME is in the KLR and the KLR is in the DME.

Also the old chipset was labeled 1995 so they have been in there a while. The car runs much better with the new chips and other additions. And I WISH I was running a MAF setup...
