Car won't start - Have scan of attempt --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My vehicle is a 1998 Z28. Almost stock. Exhaust, lid, maf, and some free mods.
I recently purchased HP Tuners, and had just started to tune my VE tables when I ran into this problem.
My car is cranking, but won't start. I tried jumping it, and after several attempts and long intervals, it won't start. So I rewrote the entire VCM back to the stock tune. Still will not catch. I switched the ignition and fan relays, to see if the relay was blown. Still the same result. I scanned the VCM while I tried starting. The file is included.
The scan shows both timing and fuel at times of cranking, but does this mean that it is actually happening?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I personaly would have a dealer flash the ECU back to stock. This is what happened to my car when I lost power during a tune.
I gave up and took my car to my local GM stealership 5 blocks from my house. They pretty much did it for free. I needed my exhaust welded, which they did + the flash for 75 Bucks.
Good luck.
