Default Predator, How To Force Restore Original Backup



Hi All,

I'm wondering if anyone with a Predator tuner for their S197GT has had to use the "Force" original back up option to get their ECU to work again? My car was having problems and I tried to rflash the original back up to th ECU and it went crazy in the middle of writing the computer and locked up. Now the car will not start. I think I need the keypad code to get the Predator to force the original backup into the ECU but don;t really know and the Predator folks are all off for the weekend. Any ideas?

TIA/Chip

if you have not done this already, i would
probably disconnect the battery to clear
the ecu memory.

not sure how long to wait, maybe 15-20 minutes....

plug the battery back in and try to reflash back
to stock, before trying to start the car.
