I had exactly the same problem, if you still have the original EPROM try pushing it in the socket and giving it a spin. I changed mine for a socket and ND stage 1 chip with a very bad hangover it didn't work but the chip turned out to be duff. If you need a standard chip blown let me know I can do them at work,

I have a socket installed in my ECU. The car has died a couple of times but would restart if I gave the chip a wiggle.

I re-soldered the socket in place and the problem hasn't re-occured... yet...
