I am using your HP Tuners to tune my 1998 Vette. I have always seemed to have trouble with connecting (sometimes it would work ...sometimes not).
I have the most recent update. The problem occured before I updated today.
Ken or keith,
Yesterday I went to flash the PCM. I accidently hit "write entire VCM". During the flash things "locked up". I then disconnected the laptop and shut things down. Now I cannot get the HP tuners to connect. I cannot even get the voltage to show on the bottom of the screen. sometimes it reads .1 other times there is no number at all. Today I tried to write "calibration only" seemed like it was working...with 38 sec left and the program I believe was verifying the flash......locked up at 38 sec......now "cannot find VCM.
I am also getting all types Service problems on the cars dash display.
I have a fully charged battery. I am using the keyspan usb adapter. The light is on and blinking...never goes solid.(is it supposed too?) The HP box is warm.
I checked the ALDL plug it has power.
Have I screwed up the computer? What are my options at this point? Why did things lock up initially?
Could you please help me with my problem....I know some of the things I did were wrong!!!
On a side note...when I was installing the starter I accidently shorted the wrench to ground...so well it welded it to the frame for approx 5-10 sec. Do you think this could have destroyed the PCM.....no fuses were blown.
