Car Won't Start After Flash Please Help

Hello Everyone,

I am sorry if this is in the wrong section but I am kind of stuck here.

I have been flashing my car for about 2 years now with ECU Flash.. Never had any issues... Until today...

I proceeded to flash my car and it stopped midway.. After it did the initial check and than Erase it stopped and said to close the program and re-try to flash and it should pickup where it left off..

I have attached the log file.

so.. I freaked out, and tried to start the car, it tried to start and coughed and than died.. Than it just tried to start but no turning over at all..

So... I got towed home as i was out tuning on a local road.. Than I tried to re-flash, it wouldn't connect.. So i went out and bought a new battery as my battery has been acting up lately..

I put the new one in... boom... connects right away and I flash the rom and it works no problem at all.. But it still won't start. It tires... and tries but won't turn over. So I don't think it's the ECU anymore because, I have flashed 4 different ROMS I have All for my specific car. Plus I can do a read from ECU now... a test run, and a comparison..

So... my question is... what's next? Do I try to push start the car? Is there a way to reset a fuel cutoff or something I am missing?

I truly appreciate any help and advice any of you can give me..

If I need to answer any questions please just ask.
Thank you very much.

Yes I did because I had to get a new battery, so the battery was out of the car for about 1 hr..

I will contact Chris..

I got it guys!! thanks...

Put the car in second gear, held the gas pedal down and cranked it... it didn't want to start but finally did, took about a minute to idle right but now it's all good..

yeah. holding the pedal to the floor would be Clear-flood mode where it would not send any fuel to the cylinders and would spark dry the plugs enough to heat them up and able to get the mixture back in spec
