J0sh Donating Members 239 Member For: 16y 19d Gender: Male Location: Pertthh W.A Posted 26/09/09 03:48 PM Share Posted 26/09/09 03:48 PM (edited) Today I plugged in my xcal 3 tuner into my new bf f6 just to see if it worked and all was sweet (was veryy bored). I had the xcal 3 previously tuned to my old Ba xr6t ute. So I decided to see if that tune will go into the f6. A way I go downloading the custom tune into my car and then it hits around 28% and fail . car does not start, so I try to put it back to stock and it hits around 28% of the download and it says download failed. . The car does not start, I cant even hear the fuel pump engage when the key is turned into acc. The engine wont even try to kick over the lights will flash as if it is about to start. HELP needed!

They only get the stock tune on the very first flash, when the box is new.Let us all know what the result is so we can all learn on what happens.
