hmmm...the ICFF1G6 strategy was only in my pcm when I installed a canned tune(from a Five Hundred), when I went back to stock(the stock 500 tune), the tuner is unable to read the strategy. And of course, either way still no start.
I would still like to try installing a custom tune if someone would email me an 87 canned tune for the v6. Heck, I can't make it any worse than it already is.
Any takers?

C'mon, I promise not to hold anyone liable for what happens. I am just trying to save time/trouble/money and a tow to the dealership.

i bought my tuner, was loaded with 87 tune, and stock was loaded into handheld before 87 tune loaded and first time i wanted to things in it i just looked, and did not venture into for same reason you are having issues, plus i went to do a firmware and software update to the handheld and when it said must return handheld to stock i said screw it, did not know what would happen, so until i go from 19" wheels to 18", it stays in trunk, sorry for your issues.

Tow truck on the way. Dealership will charge 85.00 to reflash and I'll have it back this afternoon.

Yep, all better now, thanks. Dealership reflashed, picked it up and it was fine.
Brought it home and hooked up the tuner again. This time because I had updated the firmware and the tune list, it worked.
Because it was a generic list there was only one tune for my car but I downloaded it anyway. Haven't driven much since then but it does seem more responsive.
