Default I think I have some big problems.. help :/

sooo this morning I was using tunercat to tune my lt1. I was about 55% done with the tune and all the power in my truck went out. tunercat said there was an error because the power went out (understandable) now its saying my pcm is unresponsive and wont connect. do i need a new computer now?? is there any way to fix mine?? let me know if u guys have anything for me. Thanks in advance

Freddie

Yep, need a new one. This happened to me just recently, and hadn't ever happened before. Unfortunately there are no fault protections like with the newer ls1 tuning softwares.

No worries, this happened to me actually last week. Exact same senario, except I was using a different tuner program. I sent mine to Bryan at pcmforless.com and in two days was sent back to me programmed and working like it should, no problems with it... cheaper than buying a new pcm... :O
