Title: Flashed Stock file, back to ecm and cars is miss firing bad!! Help... Anyone? Post by: Ballistix234 on March 16, 2015, 03:28:30 PM Hello Looking for some direction please help! I cannot make heads or tails from this. I finally had some time try out the Nefmoto Software, Took a little playing around to get the cable to work and get connect to the ecm, but I got it. After, lots of reading and re-reading forums and tutorials. I read my stock file and saved them to my laptop. I was playing around with baud rates and generally just feeling my way around, (baby steps ofcourse!!) As I was astonished that I could get it to connect and read the ecm, as I have been having a very hard time connecting.
At this point I got a bit bold and... I thought I would try to write the original tune back to the ecm and see what happens. I tried to see if the file matched and it did, so I figured what could it hurt?? So I tapped the write button and away it went, did its thing, all was well! the car ran well too! Today, I went to start my car and slight low battery and now the engine is miss firing and chugging etc. undrivable. Is there anything I could have done wrong? I mean it was the stock file, Or am I missing something? 1.8T 8E0909518AK, I used the memory layout 29F800BB I checked the DTCs with vcds random miss fires and what not, P30 terminal low voltage if that makes sense. (dead battery I am thinking) Please help, any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance Title: Re: Flashed Stock file, back to ecm and cars is miss firing bad!! Help... Anyone?

The flashing had nothing to do with your current issues. Title: Re: Flashed Stock file, back to ecm and cars is miss firing bad!! Help... Anyone?

I didn't think the flashing of the ecm did anything after a barrage of panic set in. I rechecked the flash said it matched and was good. Just looking for some confirmation.
Coincidence I guess! ;D Thanks for the reply I will check the wiring to #3 & #4 coils make sure they are good. I Title: Re: Flashed Stock file, back to ecm and cars is miss firing bad!! Help...
