Default Just flashed tune onto car, now car wont start!!!!!

help!

I called doug but he's not in for another hour. hoping maybe someone has a simple solution. i followed the directions exactly, it uploaded the ECM, erased the stuff from the car, downloaded the program. i hit select (ok), then turned the key off like it asked and hit select again, then unplugged the SCT.... turned the key on, turned it off (just to make sure everything was ok), turned it on, tried to start and got nothing. tried key on key off several more times and still nothing - it just cranks and cranks and cranks.

HELP!!!

*edit* and btw, my Bombz Racing CAI (ebay knockoff of a K&N typhoon) seems to have 10x the quality in it in regards to fit and finish compared to the new JLT intake i just installed. i'll take pics later if anyone is interested - but the generic CAI had a better MAF mounting point, the heat shield was a much better fit, it attached in multiple places for a more solid feel, and even the intake tube had a mounting bracket to make sure everything stayed where it should be.

Try reloading the original factory tune and see if it starts. If it does, try loading Doug's tune back in and give it another try. If it doesn't start after that, then there is an issue with the tune. By the time you get to that point, Doug should be in and able to help you.

Good luck.

I actually had a similiar problem once with mine. What I did was go back to stock and then I reinstalled the tunes on my X3 and reinstalled in the car and everything worked fine.

You can pull the current strategy code using the SCT.
