Default NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on 98 WS6

I traded my 94 hawk for a 98 WS6 and the guy switched the ECM so the T/A will not start because of the security. How do I get the ECM reflashed or who can tell me how to figure out which resistor is in the ECM to match the key?

A few select O'Reilly's can reflash PCM's. As to which ones do, it I have no clue.

Hey, if its a 98 or 99 PCM, I have HPtuners I can delete the VATS out of the PCM when you come this way. We will just have to swap PCM's in the car. (I hope everything is still connected after pulling the dash, but I didn't disconnect anything)

Oh yeah dude that would be great, its a 98. Man your a straight life saver. here was the trade.
PROS VS CONS
Mine is a clean original LT1 with 58k Firehawk, I just needed to paint the parts after I replaced them from a Fender bender and I still need the ROH Wheels. So I still had to put about 2K into it to make it perfect again

His: 98 WS6 is complete and ready to go minus the ECM that has to be flashed. It just gives me a car to drive while I start on the 240sx. HAHA
So it was an even trade across the board. Since I won't have the extra cash now, since it's going to you

man that is a very nice car!

Why did he want to get rid of his 98?

Also, do you want to delete the rear- o2's EGR AIR and all that crap too? FANS ect.

he didn't want to get rid of it, He was actually selling it until I started my car and he fell inlove with it. My hawk is just one of those cars you touch and you know it has to come home so he just wanted my Firehawk more. My car comes out to 48 made in Forest Green and 19 in the color combo. So I have a really rare car and that is if the others didn't get wrecked already and have high miles. Mine only average to less than 5k a year

No,, what you were seeing was the fenders already taken off, It was preped to go to the body shop. Long story short it was in line for the paint and I was ripped off by a guy in NC who had never sent my hood, so the body shopped kicked my car out of the shop because it was taking up space. So those were replacement parts that you are looking at. HAHA That was not any where close to what it looked liked. Low end on my car is 10k which goes up to 15k.
