Update: Tried to read the strategy from my car, and it said it won't even read it! And worse.. my car still doesn't even start after resetting it to stock! Damnit.. what are my options? I need to get back to school on Monday (1 hr and a half away).. dealer's not open.. although I ordered the tune, I don't know if VMP can do anything about it since they're technically not open on Monday either...sh** man..

Is my only option to tow the car in Tuesday and get my stock tune reloaded by the dealer..?

If its reset to stock....try unplugged teh negative battery cable for 15 minutes and then try again.

GstangT

Thanks. Gonna try that right now. Can anyone else help??

GstangT

Nope.. disconnecting the battery didn't work.. ahhh...

GstangT

Ok.. since I got no choice but to get it towed back to the dealer.. anyone know what I should tell them I did to it?

GstangT

Come on now.. no one? The last 4 posts were by me..

Does the engine turn over, but just not start? If so, try hitting the fuel shut reset button on the kick panel. Maybe using the wrong tuner caused your fuel pump to shut down.

Nope, doesn't even turn over. Once I turn it, everything resets, it's like the battery dies, the dash lights/radio lights go off, and when I let go it'll light up again..

It sounds like you loaded a tune that wasnt made for that engine code. Anytime this is done the computer will lock up and cant be returned to stock. The only thing to do is take it to the dealership and have them reflash it.
The best thing to do is just act stupid and pretend you have no idea what happened to the car. Tell them you tried to start it but it just dies. "Maybe the car got hit by a freak lightning storm and threw off the computer" But dont tell them about the tuner or else they may try to void the warranty.
