I had that happen with my BAMA tunes.. 2 of my tunes worked but, when I loaded my Race tune my car wouldnt start. I emailed Doug and turns out he made a typo on the cars calibration code..It was off by a single letter...Maybe you have the same issue?

i just remembered did you update your device with the latest version of firmware? If you did not then this is causing your file to be corrupted when you upload your tune into your tuner.

This just keep getting better..........
Updated the firmware on my xcal 2. The first tune I got gave me a flashing antitheft light and the car wouldn't start. Got a new tune from Justin yesterday and it loaded up fine with no flashing theft light. BUT......Now I have a "Engine failsafe mode" come up on the dash. I haven't tried starting it yet. The car still starts with the stock tune and no messages on the instrument cluster. Oh and when I try to read dtcs with my tuner I get "error reading dtcs" on the tuner. Any ideas? I've read something about the throttle body on here, but its only giving me the failsafe message with the new tune.

Since my xcal isnt reading dtcs, i'm going to head over to autozone on the stock tune and see if they can read them with the stock tune and with Justins tune.

Just got back from autozone. Code they pulled off stock tune was p151a. Loaded Justin's new tune and had them check codes again (engine failsafe was on) and they got the same thing I got "error reading codes". Drove car home and on the way home the car overheated. Got back and the hose going into the cross over and the hose coming out were really hot while the return hose to the radiator was still cool. I'm losing my mind on this!!!!!!
