You sent them your ECU, they installed the chip, then they sent back the ECU, correct? It sounds like they installed a bad chip or a chip with the wrong program on it. You'll probably have to contact Powerchip for a warranty repair. A "ROM Error" is a problem with the chip.

ROM... Read Only Memory... the error is definatly in the programming in the chip then... or they fried something else while they were in there. Contact them about warrenty work.
