Well, apparently I screwed up big time, had to have the car towed to the dealer to have the PCM reflashed. However, I would like to put a plug in for Brenspeed, Seth was incredibly helpful, even tried to get me going over the phone. I can see why everyone is happy with their customer support.

i had the same thing happen to me with the diablosport predator, all i had to do was clear error codes and then it started fine. Did you try that?

Yes, I cleared the codes, it didn't help.

$92 to have the computer reflashed by the dealer.

This is exactly why I would neverconsider a used tuner. However there are safeguards against this type of thing like checking the strategy code to make sure it matches your cars pcm code before loading the tune. With your dealer reflash I would check that the strategy code matches the pcm code you gave brenspeed before loading the new tunes to make sure the dealer didnt "update" your current pcm code. There is a list on the forums that will tell you which strategy code goes with which pcm code although I'm not sure where it is and search isnt working. I believe the thread title was "xcal owners please read" or something like that.
