More than 2 weeks ago I took my ‘13 frs to the dealer to get the valve spring recall done. My car has unequal catless headers, exhaust and a e85 stage 2 oft tune running e85. I had disclosed all these mods to the dealer and they said it’s no problem. I also asked them to get the spark plugs changed.

They estimated 5 days for the work. Fast forward a week and half later I get a call from the service department and the rep told me that the work is done but the car won’t start, and that the tech working on the car thinks it has to do with the tune. He said something about disconnecting the battery messed with the aftermarket tune. I explained to the rep how that is unlikely and the said that they will look into it and “find a workaround”. And that it will take a little more time.

Another week later he called me again. And he asked if I can flash the car back to stock ecu. I said no because the car is full of e85 and e85 is in the fuel lines so I cannot just flash it back. He went to talk to the mechanic and then said maybe the ecu is fried and may need a new ecu.

So today no call from then and I may go there tommorow and try to reflash the e85 tune to see if it will start. Just wanted to see anyone knows what might be going on. I’m getting a bit worried and getting sick of the Corolla hybrid they gave me as a loaner.
