first check with the manufacturer and make certain it is for your exact year/model of car/engine. It doens't take much to make them not compatible.
second, perhaps this is why it was for sale.

I was always told that it couldn't be done. Obviously this thing is causing your issues as the car runs normally when you de-installed it.

Dump the chip, it's not compatible, or requires additional tuning done with software to make it work.
IMO- garbage.
