Default need help ASAP!!!

so this all started when i went to get my car inspected and it failed the emission part because my o2s were turned off, so i called bama to get the updated tune for the 87 and 89 octane that has the o2s turned on and i loaded it and my check engine light came on saying the o2s were stuck on rich...so i called bama again and they said i had to update the firmware but first return my car to stock...so i get home from work, return to stock and go inside to update the firmware and it said there was an error and now my tuner is stuck on the screen saying "system start up...please wait...filesystem error...needs to be reloaded"



any suggestions that would not involve having to call somebody in the morning and probably have to be late for work

Disconnect the battery for 10 minutes so it all resets, then try to load the stock tune again

Try connecting your tuner to your computer and seeing what you can do with it from there to make sure its an issue with the PCM and not the tuner

Good luck

If your stock tune is loaded, go get your car inspected again then afterwords call bama and have them walk you through the re-tuning

You have to drive 50 miles before the emissions inspection. It's also possible the tune got corrupted via email. Sounds strange but that happened to me and they sent the same tune next day uploaded and worked fine.

So the tuner interface is frozen? Might need to contact SCT about that. Did you try updating it again? Will it even go into "update mode" after holding the cancel button?

maybe for now find someone who has a modified stang and see if they still have stock air box to get you through inspection then spend time fixing this.
hope you get it fixed soon

If I was close I'd offer to lend you my OE airbox but that isn't the case. Put out an A.P.B., I suppose.
