Starchip Problems

I recently bought a 1.9 ecu fitted with a star chip off ebay. Plugged it in, car runs fine, but soon as you come to bolt it under the dash, the car cuts out. Same happens with the cover off. Im guessing at an earth fault in the ecu, anyone got any ideas.

Are you sure its not the cable elswhere that is loose or shorting as you bolt it up?

 

Its going to be difficult to diagnose over a forum, really need to have a look at the ECU itself. Could be a short on the board going to earth as soon as the one metal corner hits metal.
