    2013 GT500 flashed now wont start!

    Sitting on the side of the road right now, waiting on a town truck! I was trying to fix my fuel trims. This is the first time iv tried to flash my car with HPTuners. I'm using the beta version. I just downloaded it two days ago. The car won't do anything. I first tried waiting 45 min to see if it would fix itself, I saw in other threads that fixed it. I also tried disconnecting the battery it did not help either.

    The dash says check charging system.

    How do I get my car to start again?

    For me its always; disconnect battery for about 1 min, then reflash the same tune back in.

    if that didnt work then disconnect 1 min again and flash to the last working tune; usually the one before it and delete the one that didnt work and do that work all over again.

    Ok well I got home. Hooked it up to the trickle charger and reflashed. It took a lot longer this time. I'm assuming it wasn't loading all the way before. And it started right up.

    Feeling much better now

    It probably did this http://www.hptuners.com/forum/showth...l=1#post382681

    I have found right around 74-75%, if they skip to 100%, they're not going to restart and you'll have to try again to get a complete flash...if they pause at 74-75% and then keep going at a normal speed until they've flashed 100%, then you'll be good to go.

    That could have been it. It sure would have saved me a HUGE headache yesterday if all i had to do was hit abort. I re-flashed it 2 more times yesterday fixing my fuel trims, i drove home and hooked up to the trickle charger both times, didn't have anymore issues.

    It's happened to me a couple times now...seems to be a totally random occurrence. I don't think it has anything to do with voltage. I don't think hitting abort is actually what fixed it either...the last time it happened to me I didn't post about it, but I waited a few minutes and tried flashing it again and it went through ok.
