I've been seenin' these more & more, your gonna have to get it towed to a dealer and get your pcm reflashed. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> Did you lock hhp3 to your pcm?

Its hard to get warranty work done with no cats & all the other **** done wonder what it costs to get the computer reflashed.

Call Hypertech, tell them you bought the programmer new, and they will fix your PCM and programmer. Since you're so close you may just drive it over there, or ship them both to them, but they fix this kind of thing all the time. It happens.
Whatever you do, do NOT tell them if you bought a used HPP (I don't know if you did or not). You bought it new. Got it? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I just got my truck back from the dealer with the same type of problem that you have. Mine was a Superchips programer which locked up my PCM. The only way to fix it is to go to the dealer and get a new PCM installed. If your careful about what you say it shouldnt matter whether your cats are gone or not. They would have to prove that your cats caused your PCM to lock up to refuse you warranty work and because they cand read the PCM they cant prove it.

Their blaming the PASS-KEY system? Yourpass-key module reads a resistor pellet in key thru ignition lock cylinder,and when every thing is accepted by pass-key module it sends a freqency modulated signal to pcm then pcm allows engine to run.B.t.w. the pass-key module & keys are set to each other not pcm proramed dealer only . If you had a pass-key failure YOU WILL GET A PCM CODE . + a security light goin' nuts. Tell them stupid f@#$* to cut the <img border="0" alt="[bullshit]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bs.gif" /> and fork over the cash for a new pcm + progaming (what ya probably are gonna need). Some dealers do have the software to flash pcm's alone w/o the vehicle search around you may find one close. GOOD LUCK!!

Well my car runs again.Hypertech (Shawn White) is a man of his word.I called yesterday to let him know that the car still wouldnt run.He told me to wail a minute & he came back and told me he was sending me a new pcm nextday.Well it came in today & boom car fired right up the only problem is I am showing a P1336 crankshaft position system not learned but the car runs fine.I now have a new programmer in the box and will be getting edit.So if anyone ever has a problem with hypertech Shawn is the man. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
