So I found an old mpps v13 uploaded all software etc
Does mean you installed mpps to your pc OR you wrote the ecu one time successful?
Now I'm under the impression that I'm being locked out from writing the ECU.
You can try to access it with vcds. or you can try to start the car. or you will recognise that throttle does not blip on ignition on (like on a working ecu)
You can try to disconnect batterie for some time or just open it up and boot.
Location of boot pin is available in here or google does know it.
Maybe the reason you could not write it is a scrambler board where your 29F800 is.
