As odd as it sounds, turn the car on, and blast the heat through the floor vents for a few min. Try it again. Dont know why, but my ecu has to be physically warm in order to flash/pull...

- uninstall the program / drivers, etc.

- restart the pc and reinstall the program and drivers

- go drive the car around for like 10 min. get it up to temp - I know this is weird but I have had this problem and had to have the car warmed up before it would let me do anything.

If that doesnt work you can try forcing it - keep the car running then hit the read button. It should shut the car off and read the ecu. I have had to do this with flashing before.....

Bad cable perhaps?

- if you can try someone else's cable with your laptop and see what happens. If that works then its probably your cable. If not then try someone else's cable with your laptop and see if that works - trial and error.

I can vouch that Erics build is real and is happening have some patience. There will be plenty of nice weather and oppurtunity to do some runs
