well im not sure if its common, but i was programming it and just as it was about to finish said Error something something. so i just ordered a madz28 pcm. and i plan on using tunercat again to modify shift points. so hopefully, it doesn't happen.

Sometimes they'll come back. just leave the battery disconnected for about 1/2 hour and it may come back to life.
I've done a whole bunch of em, and about every 10 or so, will have a problem either reading or writing to it. When they have an error during the read, they will almost always come back. If they error during the write, its about 50/50.
Ive never killed a pcm while tuning. Ive done well over 500+ uploads and not one killd pcm. Even had a low battery in a car and the tune still went through. Go ahead and get it.Quote:

You're one lucky SOB.Quote:
