    Hey All,

    Finally got my base map in after installing the 3.5in CS Intake. I flashed the ECU appropriately and the car will not start/turn over. I did attempt to jump the battery just in case but am currently getting a PCM code and a PCM 1260 error which is something to do with the immobilizers vehicle theft.

    Any ideas on why this is? I'm going to disconnect the battery for an hour and reconnect. Also will disconnect the MAF and re-plug back in.

    Running the AP V3. Of course I'll reach back out to my tuner as well as I just received the basemap late tonight and was trying to get started

    Disconnect the ECU and look at the harness and pins and make sure none are bent or pushed down.

    Could be as simple as a bad flash. Disconnect negative for a couple of mins let's go for an excessive 3min. Reconnect, Ensure battery is on a charger while reflashing the new mapand see if that works.

    Is that a fairly common thing with VT? Just flashing a bad tune every now and again? Kinda little a broken hyperlink or something?

    Happens even with Access port , there is always a risk when flashing the ecu. Even installing an operating system on a computer has that risk.

    Hey All,

    I disconnected the MAF, ECU, and Battery for a couple of minutes. Reconnected the MAF, ECU, and Battery and we were back in business. WHEW scary moment. I went ahead and drove 20 miles at 1am and did my logs needed after between 1 and 2 am lol.

    Thanks for the suggestions
