wow i would leave it alone and call the nearest dealer, take it in and have the car reprogramed. it sounds like you deleted the stock tune from the tunner completely, so you will definately need a dealership to fix it. that suks

The tuner never even had his stock tune uploaded from the sounds of things. Looks like a "tow to dealer" situation unfortunately.

Now that the tuner seems to be working OK, wouldn't it be possible to load a custom tune file on the tuner and then use it to get my car running?
If someone could please email me a canned 87 tune for the 2007 v6, I could try installing it as a custom. It's worth a try. My strategy was FMAG0M6 but at this point, I am willing to try about any basic tune for an '07 v6.
My email is chrish217 at yahoo.
Thanks.

Just thought of something else. If other people have problems with their custom tune because a dealership reflashed their pcm with a new strategy code, then I would most likely have the same problem.
My new strategy code is ICFF1G6. Which probably means that I would need to somehow edit a 87 canned tune with that strategy code. Grrrr.
OK...so if someone sent me a 87 canned tune for a '07 v6, they would have to somehow change the strategy code to ICFF1G6 first, wouldn't they?

Where is the pcm located? I see 2 pcm looking modules on the driver's side kick panel but I have seen posts that talk about it being under the passenger kick panel. I have tried searching posts and google, but no luck.
Although I could have taken off the passenger panel in the time I spent doing all the searches.

It's the silver metal box that's right next to the black fuse panel

Under the hood? Hell, I wasn't even close. lol
When I sold GM's, they were called ECMs. I have seen them referred to on the internet as pcm, ecm, ecu. But I guess on a Ford they are called PCMs.
