Have you tried disconnecting the battery and maybe reflashing the tune?

Have you tried your other key? Maybe the chip went bad in the one you usually use. Check all the fuses as well just in case. I'm not much help when it comes to the PATS stuff, sorry. I hope it's something simple so you can enjoy the weekend.

Turn off pats in the tune and go to the dealer to have the pcm/pats redone. EXACT same thing happened to me with my whipple install.

 

[2002_500HP]

so i just need another tune then? or could i just leave the F**King pats disabled this thing has really pissed me off tonight.

 

[2002_500HP]

any other way to disable it cause i'm not opposed to rewiring somethings if i have to.

its as easy as setting a 1 to a zero in the tune, But when you go to the fealer, you will have to reflash back to stock, have them flash the pats system, then reflash to your tune. I dont know why, but I had it even worse with my whipple install, Ended up with a corrupt vehicle ID block.

hey bob, do you use the SCT X Cal and if so do you have the PC cable for it, i was gonna see if you would let me borrow it, i would be willing to compensate you for it, if i can get my hands on one of those cables i can get this fixed tomorrow...you can pm me if you can do this an di'll give you my number.

If you have any xcal 2, a regular usb cable is all you need to connect to your PC. I'm not sure what to do if you have a Xcal 1.

it did that in my cobra...would start then die, i had to have it towed to ford..and they replaced the little transponder reciever in the steering column, it went bad, wasnt picking up the "signal" and was telling the car that someone was trying to start it with a fake key...like 300 bucks..but now it starts.

 

[Screaming01L]

If you need an xcal1 cable, let me know .

try going back to your ori file or original back- up flash that then go custom tune
