I'm glad u got ur car back & running. Time to leave this behind & enjoy the car again. BTW, will u take the chance & tune ur new ECU again.. It must be hard to drive a stock car after experiencing a tuned car?

Very cool. Run a carfax in a few months just to be sure or to know at least what your up against.


Glad you are back in action! Just in time for the weekend!

Messing with the ECU physically just reminds me of like dating a girl who has had a frontal labodamy...no one wants to mess with her or deal with her. Just too insane...

I have become more of a fan of indirect software upgrades without cracking the box.

Glad to hear all is fixed. You did the right thing by completely replacing it. Hope you have a good weekend...

Thanks, guys...it has been a major headache the past two weeks but glad it's resolved now. I guess the timing is perfect considering the remote flash tuning options now on the market!
