So, it appears that Nino left a tune on the car, and my PCM is locked, and ford doesnt know if they can clear it or not. either way its 76 bucks.
anyone know any dyno shops that can re-write a tune I have from doug over the tune thats existing/change a factory tune to fit my factory calibration code, so I can back it up?

Who is Nino? Ford should be able to reflash any pcm.

they are going to have to totally clear the pcm out, but dont know if they can do it...Nino Avila, from the streetfire videos of the yellow 05 GT, I have that GT now, and he has a terminator...

Well talk to Nino about where the stock tune is at. He should have a handheld tuner with it still inside.

I call BS on that...they update the tunes all the time....they can and have to be able to restore the tune.

Most tuning software has a feature that basically locks the PCM from being read by anyone who does not have the code to unlock it. Kinda keeps the secretes of their tune a secret so no one else can look at what they did and use it as their own. The only way around it if you do not have the code, is to completely re-write the PCM, which is very dangerous and can cook the PCM if anything goes wrong, even if its Ford doing it. I've had about 10 customers that I had to do this for, and of them 2 got cooked.

I would start with Nino and see if he can unlock it for you. If not, then re-flashing or buying a new PCM from Ford are your only options.
