HELP! Tried using OFT. Now car won't start! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

diBreezy · 11-29-2015, 05:52 PM

I'm in a full blown panic. I do not know why this happened. I tried resetting the battery. Nothing. The OFT says the Stage 1 tune is in my ECU.

I road tripped down to North Carolina. Now I can't leave!

I attempted to contact Open Flash via email. They have not yet responded.

I'm in a full blown panic.

Did you try flashing back to the stock tune?

Yes. Now it says Original.

EDIT: And the car won't start. Also, the OFT does not turn on when I turn the key to ACC

JB86'd · 11-29-2015, 06:02 PM

And your car still won't start?

Correct.

EDIT: It also says "Vin not locked" under INFO.

My car has done this when I tuned with ECU Tek. It still cranks right?? Try to give it some gas when you crank it

Edit: I should also add that it will run like crap for the first km or so until the ECU learns. IDK this happend to me but it happens haha

You're going to have to be more clear.

You went on a road trip.
When you got there you decided to flash your car.
Then immediately your car doesn't work.
?

Or you flashed.
Then drove the car successfully.
Then it stopped working.
?

Where did you get this OFT and why did you first try using it so far from home?
