Did ecutek start to flash car and fail midway through flash.

once you have flashed with ecutek ( a rom with racerom features) ecu is locked to ecutek and oft will no longer be able to read or flash ecu.

does car start ? if it starts or even turns starter motor its a good sign.

if oft powers up when plugged into obd port obd port has power, this is not need to flash with ecutek though i think.

will ecutek logging work ? if so good sign

what happens if you do a query ecu in ecutek ?

i would say you probably have a partial flash , ecutek remote support may be able to help costs money though. ecutek in england also have ecu recovery service but you will need to ship ecu to them.

I am lead to believe now that it possible to switch in a replacement ecu without dealer, proceedure is in service manuals, i have not done it though. but you would need an ecu from same year\model\transmission @FRS Justin has swaped one i think
