Need Help Asap!!!

[Jdaniel]

I just got through helping a buddy install all the BF idlers and the 2.76 pully. We disconnectd the battary took the old chip out of the car per Dougs instruction. We got everything installed and put the tune in ith the Xcaliber2 and now the car wont start. It will turn over but it seems as though the PATS system is interfering because the theft light blinks.

We took the pully tune out and tried to start it and sure enough it started right up. Where can we be going wrong here? Please help ASAP. Many thanks in advance.

Hmm

Hmm

Anything else....ha! It's my car we're talking about....I hate being patient when I'm so excited to test this pulley and tune out. But, guess I'll have to wait to talk with Doug from Billetflow tomorrow. He was a class act when I ordered everything, so I'm sure I'll have no problems resolving whatever this issue is!....:thumbsup:

good luck

hey guys....sucks that you're having problems

I'm impatient by nature too :-D

might be a tune problem.....just saw this exact same scenario on a friends car recently

[Jdaniel]

Yeap! Same exact symptoms. He is gonna call Doug tomorrow and get a new one.

I think its a failsafe that if the tune is corrupt (won't pass a CRC check or something similar), it activates PATS to prevent the vehicle from actually starting with the 'bad tune'

 

[Jdaniel]

I wonder what could be bad about the tune. I wonder where Doug gets his tunes from.

 

[JB]

believe me, your friend will be happy with the tune

like any computer file, they can get corrupt

was it loaded on the XCAL2 already or sent via email?

 

[whiplash306]

It was loaded on the XCAL2 at Billetflow, specific to my mods, and then sent to me, along with the pulley and idlers...I know once everything is good, it'll be fun....but DAMN, it's like all this excitement pent up and replaced with frustration...ha!

Doug will get things taken care of tomorrow, Jarod :thumbsup:

BTW, what is your PCM code? (sticker on passenger door)

 

[Jdaniel]

Yeah...im positive it will get fixed. On the occassions I have dealt with Doug, he seems to be a good guy and truely concerned with customer care. Thats really hard to find these days!

 

[JB]

that's true...

he has good values and runs things according to his own standards, which are often higher than many businesses feel they can 'afford'

and he's a car nut, like everyone here!

+1?

Doug will get things taken care of tomorrow, Jarod :thumbsup:

BTW, what is your PCM code? (sticker on passenger door)

There are 2 codes on the door....one grouping "AMZ1" that is in large lettering and a smaller grouping of lettering..."4R3A-AAB". I gave these both to Doug, so maybe that eliminates one possibility! Thanks for your interest in helping though....I DEFINATELY appreciate it. Of course, once all this is figured out, I will post our findings so that those that face the same in the future will have an easier go of it!.....

 

[Jdaniel]

The code he is lookin for is AMZ1. Thats the ECU code. Its stamped on the inside of the door panel so that if its needed, a Tech or shadetree mechanic like us wont have to yank out the ECU just to see what the code is.

Sounds like a corrupt file.

I'll give you a call later today and get a new file e-mailed out to you ASAP.

Thanks Doug....look fwd to the call!

Spoke with Billetflow once today and his tuner 3 times...as expected, no problems! Even more impressive, they are sending me out a new tuner overnight so I can get my car on the road, all while allowing me to send back the old tuner snail mail! Trust!!!! Amazing, huh? You just don't often hear of that in businesses now-a-days! So, so far business dealings with Billetflow have been OUTSTANDING! Thanks Doug!
