749 in a 749 - troubles

[Jeremy Gonyou]

Sorry, Guys, but I have to revive this thread.

  When you last heard from me I had just tried a syclone bin in my 7730 (3.1 
DIS).  SES light, no codes.  The chip checked out ok so I figured bum 
Memcal, right?

  Just bought new a memcal.  Soldered in AMP socket, popped in STOCK chip.  
Same deal: SES light, no codes (Note: the car behaves this way with no chip 
installed at all).  Sometimes the car refuses to even start with the 
modified memcal.

  New hypothesis:  Ruining connections when testing memcal for continuity.

  Yes, that's all I've got at this point.  I'd really appreciate and ideas 
from the group.  Listed below is my procedure, maybe someone can pick up on 
a bone-headed mistake:)
     Test unmodified memcal in car
     solder out stock chip
     solder in AMP socket
     burn stock data on a fresh chip
     check pins for continuity (using a multimeter and solid core wire to 
get into the bottom end of the memcal)
     pull ecm fuse and install newly modified memcal
     reinstall ecm fuse, start car

That's all...
