    I am trying to install an open cone air filter in my 1998 grand prix gtp, but when i opened up the airbox there was the ecu chip inside of it and I am confused on what to do with it. I meant to upload pictures, but something is wrong with my computer and haven't figured it out yet. Any help is appreciated.
