ecu responding to nothing, locked?

my car was being tuned on the dyno last night
anyways, we were playing with the fq360 maps and by accident (and my stupidity) i put the whole fq360 map on my car. now this normally wouldnt be a problem, except the wrong immobilisor code is in the car.

but then i got the 'no response to any known code' so i could not connect to the ecu anymore.

could not read, could not write, could not do anything! so basically, i had the wrong immobilisor code stuck in the car and could not change it, so the car would not start.

in the end, i had to borrow someone else's ecu and put my code on it so i could use the car (and keep tuning).

now i have only borrowed the new ecu, so i would like to try and fix my one.

is it cooked? locked?
can i somehow reset it? wipe it and put my maps back on it?

everytime i try and connect to it it wont initialise

thanks in advance

i dont think its got anything todo with the immobiliser, probably due to the fact you used another ROM..

anyways try the unlocker from aktivematrix...

When in doubt, always try to use the unlocker.. 90% of the time its the init code, there are rare occasions the flash gets corrupted, but the unlocker triggers the ECU's recovery bootstrap which will allow you to read/write most mitsubishi ECUs that won't work otherwise.
