ebay... but my firend got the same one and hans't had problems for over a year... I mean the car runs, and is faster than it was before. So the chip is working but im deciding did i do something while installing it to make the CEL come on or can the chip to that? And can it hurt the car if i leave it in?

he may not... but I bet if you ran a search for "did you try to reboot it" Jeff would be the number one person posting it.
