keep us updated.

 

Just towed the car to the dealership

 

thought about an 8.5 swap myself... hope everything works out!

 

They got it started by resetting the immobilizer code. I on my way to pick her up right now!

 

Runs great....except for a dead mini battery.

 

LOL, my mini battery dies all the time if I leave the car sitting for too many days at a time.

 

awesome news!

 

CEL: P0462 Fuel Level Sensor Circuit Low Input?

Fuel Pump Maybe?

 

wtf!!!! That makes me so mad.

 

Wish I had read this thread earlier. You could have disabled the immobilizer and saved yourself the trip to the dealer.

 

You should read it again then. I did disable the immobilizer. But thanx!

 

Ummm...no need to get an attitude.

You didn't disable the immobilizer. Setting it to 0xFFFF doesn't disable the immobilizer. It's a periphery bit setting, but whatever man.

Trying to help and you get an attitude. Let me correct my post...glad I didn't get to this thread in time. Thanks for reminding me why I never come to this subforum and stay in the ECUFlash section.

 

I'm glad you think you know what I didnt do. But again, I changed the periphery bit setting and used both my original code and FFFF.

EcuFlash can and does sometimes corrupt the immobilizer if the ECU has previously been flashed by another program.

I had the dealership program a new code and an OE ROM file. Best $89 dollars ive ever spent. They even charged my mini battery lol for free lol.

 

just read the whole thread. glad you got it running! Good choice on getting a brand new engine!

 

If you truly disabled the immobilzer correctly it wouldn't matter what code you used for it...if it let you type in 4 banana symbols it would still work. It doesn't matter if it's 'corrupt' or not, if it's truly disabled.

But, anyway, at least you now have a working immobilizer, so you can use it for security reasons. Good luck with the car and the new motor.
