Car won't crank after installing tune-- help

Well all went well downloading tune went to 100 complete did what the directions said. Went to start the car and it won't crank over . Battery is full and still on charger. I am getting a esp malfunction that I never had before.
I tried dyno mode and it still won't crank.
Tony said to try to flash it again and I did. Same thing.

Any ideas? May have blown a fuse maybe. I may end up sending my ECU to have to reset and tuned but I'm not sure if that will fix it

You probably have to send ecu in if ESP light is still on. Tuner would be best to advise

He said to try to reflash 3-4 times. Also have the option to have him tune it through the Internet with my computer. If that fails he wants me to send it in.

Yep thanks. I put a 84mm sc pulley on. Unknowingly the washer for the bolt fell into the fan shroud when I yanked on the pulley and was hidden against the radiator. Took me forever to think of where it could have gone. Live and learn. I am learning about the car though..

Stop trying to flash it or you can brick that ecu . Make your tuner do it

starter? I mean yeah it could be the tune that is preventing a crank but WHAT IF you starter randomly failed... You get no ticking when turning key in EIS?

Nothing. No sounds no change in gauges or lights.
