Car Won't Start After Re-flash
I just received back my reflash, and my car won't start I called you and left a message and this is a very big problem seeing as my car is my only means of transportation. The car will turn over but I am not getting any spark. THe car ran fine before the reflash and now won't start everything was triple checked and the only option is the ECU. Let me know what you can do.

Damn that sucks!
|
well it is in the dynoflash forum so i'm guessing al did.
|
It's your immobilizer code...mitsu is going to have to relfash your ecu :(.
|
Ouch!
|
Damn....
|
that happend to me at the va dynoflash meet. funny coz al thought that my car is an 05 so he did the flash then boom car wont start. so finally he found out that my car is an 04 ssl so after couple of tweeks walaa.... done. well i hope you gave him the right info about mods and year of car.
|
Call in sick tomorrow.... :D {thumbup} :beer:
|
explain the immobilizer code? any indications other than the car not starting, how does it get activated?
|
and yes i gave him the right mod list, Is it a possibility that it was flashed for the wrong year and that is the problem? and another reflash from Al could fix it
|
He didn't re-write your car's immobilizer code into the flash, which most likely contained another Evo's code...so your evo thinks it's a different car at the moment. If you have a Tactrix Cable and laptop and EcuFlash on there, go to user settings, set it to developer, restart the program, find immobilizer code after reading the ECU, and then type in FFFF for it. I was told that's a universal code that will allow your car to start.

First check all fuses - there are two in the kick pannel that have gone bad on occassion - if that is not the problem - then Please send the ecu back and I will test it and replace it if it is defecvtive Approx one out of every 1,000 ecus go bad in shipping and handling Also mistakes are occassioanly made - not often but it has happend In any event everything I do is backed with a full warranty and your ecu will be replaced at no charge if it was damaged Sorry for your inconvienince Finally - you may wish to some to my LA tuning trip on Sat with your ecu so i can test your ecu and replace it on the spot if its bad - just a thought |

FYI - we do not alter imobilizer codes on mail in flashes and I do not use taxtrix cables on those so the imobilizer is left untouched Al |
would it get done faster if i came up to LA on Sunday?? Thanks for the help this is my second reflash and your service has always been great.

I will bring another with me to replace it on the spot and install your imobilizer code if needed Al |
