load the 1.4 and then load the open port 2.0
open ecuflash and before you try and read the ecu look through the menus and be sure there is nothing that lets you set it to use the open port connections.
Im goin to go outside and check this process myself right now. Ive done it quite a few times that it just connects so I dont remember the details. Ill report back.

No Settings to change on it.

UPDATE:
I borrowed a friend of a friends laptop (To rule out a computer problem). This guy supposedly has a lot of computer experience, including working on cars computer systems. I showed him what the program did and he said my ECU is locked. Are there any Canadians out there that have flashed themselves and gotten the program to read okay?
Anyone know of anyway to unlock ECU?

Yeah unfortunately Ive never had an issue either, It just loaded up and 1,2, I had my ECU flahsed. I do remember downlaoding the wrong version first but as soon as I loaded the 2.0 verison, no probs.
Isnt there a recovery tool in ECUFlash? I do remember that you have to have a ROM loaded to see some of the options.

this MIGHT have nothing to do with hit, BUT in case you have Windows Vista, a simple right-click, run as administrator might fix it.... or running it under "Windows XP Service Pack 2" Compatability mode... I'm just saying.... rule that out just to make sure

DOH!
Ok I feel like a total tool now. I'm actually very computer literate, but I have never done any modding to any of my cars before. I TOTALLY missed that and I should not have. I read that and ran outside with my computer and bingo. Read and saved my base flash, and cleared CEL. Thank you for the help guys. Hurts to feel like an idiot, but good to know nothing wrong with my setup heh.
