What engine has your car got?

Have you checked for fault codes?
(see the code reading link in my sig, depending on engine type)

Any lights come on on dash?  that dont normally?

if the chip is intact, then your next step would be to check for fault codes. follow the guide below and post up whatever you find. :y

probably a code 19. They need reading. Where are you located? There may be a helpful member not far away? :y
