PS: Because brain is mush, I forgot to checksum apparently and bricked my ecu a couple days ago. Odd thing was it let me drive the car with the bad data and didn't lock me out until I shut it down and tried to turn it back on. Is that usually how bad checksums result? first time i did it, I always thought it would refuse to start up.
Its hit or miss I think. I've only done that once, but in my case it was the third start that failed. I started it twice before heading out for fuel, wouldn't start at the gas station. Luckily I had my laptop so I was able to reflash it at the pump. Didn't impress the people that worked there though. Now every file I'm about to flash gets run through ME7check immediately before.
