(since the failure I mean) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the stock tune went into the flasher, but if the box is faulty, then perhaps something has gone wrong with storing the info??????????????????? All I can say is that I read the instructions about 5 times before I did it and had the instructions in front of me when I flashed the car. It worked twice, then sh%t hit the fan.I spoke to Jeff from C & V today and he haden't heard of such an incident before, where no tune could be loaded and the car couldnt be started or driven. I will be calling him again soon when I am in the car just to go thru everything and he seems very helpful, so hopefully we can work it out.I appreciate all the suggestions and info guys, I will keep you posted on what the result ends up being.I just hope that it ends up being an easy solution.Just quickly, doesent the word - CODE on the stereo just mean that a pass word needs to be input for the stereo to work again????? Surely not that the whole computer needs reprogramming like what blueprintxr6t is suggesting?Can you shed more light blueprintxr6t, did your prob occur from retuning, or what was the cause?CheersSean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to manually enter a code like in earlier Falcon's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmmmmmm, perhaps a new flash box may resolve my problem, however I do have reservations that its going to be as simple as that! Jeff has indicated that the box may be faulty, I dont care what tune I get into the car as long as I can drive it, I will go and get a custom tune!

I had the car towed to ford under the ford assist idea.. ford informed me that the whole computer including the pcm had lost its memory.. they spent hours getting the car right for me again.. getting it to run wasnt a problem but from what they said they need to reteach the speedo to work and the gearbox to change.. thsi took them 2 days (thankfully they did it as waranty).. I sent the box back to capa they did tests and said the box was ok and sent it back to me.. everything worked well for bout 6 months then the same thing happened again.. another trip to ford on the tilt tray and they reprogrammed the car for me this time costing I think $50.. Capa got my box snet back to them through Dyno Wog and they are still stuffing us around saying it was sent back to the states for further testing... that was over 12 months ago.. I've got a new car since then and am going to use the sniper tuning software thsi time.. hope this helps you out some more.. if not pm me and I'll give you my number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to get the valet tune to load in first thing this morning. I drove around the block to be sure that it was at least driveable (under 3000rpm of course)I then called Jeff at C & V and we stepped through loading the factory tune back in, which it did fine. I'm not sure why it has started working now. When I was trying to load a program in before it would just be stuck on the two LEDS 00 00 pattern (22 Code), but now it seems to be going through the whole senario and downloading the tunes. However I still have a problem downloading the 8 PSI tune, which wont go past the 22 code, so I'll send the box back to C & V for them to look at it.So good news, thank you all for your help it is much appreciated.And now that I have it running properly on the 10 PSI tune....................how good is it! The mod bug has already got me (which I knew would) and I want more So looks like I'll be collecting a few goodies in the next couple of months before getting a custom tune CheersSean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
