    Default ECU Remap Failure - Car Won't Start - Stuck!!

    Well being a numpty I opted for the 'at home' convenience of remapping my car which has gone horribly wrong.

    I won't say who the remap company is because I'm hoping a call to them tomorrow will sort all of this out but it's my fault for doing this out of hours at work!!!

    Anyway, car was read successfully, I saw my VIN - engine number etc etc and then chose my map. Wrote successfully to the device, connected it to the car - all went well flashing happily then WAM, started flashing a red light. I left it for the required time and nothing - connected to PC and it said failed reflash (duh!).

    So, tried again and it wouldn't write. So, started fresh and now it won't even read my ecu details just starts then flashes red again!

    Has this happened to anyone and I'm hoping it's not completely fubar'd!

    My car won't start and I've tried d/c the battery and nothing still fails to read ecu now.

    I also have F Miles on my readout!

    If anyone is doing a remap at home I would hold off if I were you!!

    Sounds like you may have spiked the ecu

    Vectra C management should not be messed with unless you know what you are doing. Some tuners sometimes have trouble writing to Vectra C.

    You very well may need a new ECU.

    Exactly! I've looked around and I think I can get a repair file for my car so will ring the place that sold me it tomorrow and I've also emailed the manufacturer of the device too.

    Failing that a trip to VX may be required for them to re-flash it if possible....

    How much is a new ECU if worst comes? Please?

    Well here's hoping that it's not going to be fubared!

    Is there a vaux-com / opcom legit device that can put me back on an ECU standard map?

    Failing my IPF device being able to do it.

    I've got the carpass and everything etc

    I don't think the BSR PPC ever gives a choice of maps, the appropriate map is supplied with the PPC unit & if it isn't compatible the existing map is copied to the PPC, sent to BSR over the net & a suitably modified map returned to be loaded back onto the car - does the Bluefin give a choice of maps? I'm fairly sure the Regal IPF gives tuning options


    edit - guess it is the IPF then!!

    Hoping that I can get it back up with a forced standard map with my security code etc
