ok, YES... im new to this.. I used ECUFlash and downloaded my stock ROM. I then tried to flash a new rom i got from someone and completed, but now it wont start!! I then tried to read the current rom... and it wont connect or read it. I cant reflash my stock rom either...nothing. I searched and read something about the imobilzer code. I never messed w/ this. can someone help?

 

retry writing your original ROM back.

also copy this file to 5 different locations NOW!!! for safe keeping!

 

yeah i tried to... it wont connect, gives me an error msg... it wont read or write... im assuming the new flash is on there since it did 100% complete etc... but it wont start now. oh jeez... im trying desperately to search forums for a fix... i dont want to go to the dealer... and void my warranty

 

try disconnecting battery for 5 mins hit the brakes just in case then retry the flash

 

ok i have the batt disconnected for about 10 mins... about to go try to re-flash... brb.. thx for helping me btw!

 

well i hope it solves your problem

 

well, nada... still wont start. but now ECUFlash is going weird on me... locking up etc... im going to try and reinstall the program and see if that helps. But no, the car still doesnt start either... guess im gonna need to find a ride to the office in the morning! haha... this sucks eggs...

 

hmm ask the person who you got the rom from which tuner did their tune. Could it possibly be locked? I've never run into a locked rom so I don't know...do they completely stop you from writing over them?

 

wow... that really suck...this is one of the reasons y i didnt reflash my ecu yet.... it sound too complicated

 

Its your immobilizer code....if you tried using a ROM from someone else's car this was most likely over looked and not changed...

 

most likely the immobillizer get the newest update of ecuflash and reinstal it try to flash again if it doesnt work mitsu it is

also try activematrix.com <---not sure on spelling and download the ecu unlocker from there try with that

 

Open your ecu flash then open your oem rom,check immobilizer and see what it says.If it dosent match with the new flash then you will have to edit it to work.

 

^^ I think a few people are missing the OP's post where he says he can't read the rom that is on the ECU now. Until he can get that solved there is no way to change that code.

 

try the ecu unlocker from aktivematrix

 

ok... well, i believe the rom i flashed is on the ECU... would this be the reason why i cant start? I have my stock rom saved, but where do i look up the immobilzer code? and yeah, i cant even read the ECU now... so i dont know how im going to fix it? funny thing is... my EvoScan logger will still connect to it and i can tell it is reading because when i start the logger( not moving of course) but when i modulate the throttle the voltage goes up etc... ECUFlash just wont connect to my ECU for some reason.... i tried re-installing the program and nothing... and yes this is a supposed base flash from another evo 9. I'll try that lock ecu fix u guys mentioned...
