Default tuner pro problem

Hey guys,

I was working on the tune for my car to make it run better, so I took the injector size from 32 to 35 lbs to try and lean it out.
But when I try to burn it on a chip it verifies the first time but when I hit it again it says verification failed. I can not load the bin on my emulator either it fails the verification as well.
The chips are 27SF512's with the burn started at 00C000 and ending in 00FFFF. I have tried stacking them as well but it is like the tune is not getting to the chip all the way or wrong.
The car starts up but runs poorly and when the gas pedal is touched the car stumbles a lot and black smoke comes out the back.
Anyone have this happen to them or have ideas?

If you can't get the file to verify on the emulator I am thinking maybe your bin is corrupted and not being accepted.
Have you got a another ( virgin ) bin to try and upload?

Hey

couple of questions:

1) Have you burned a chip before and it worked or is this the first time you've burned a chip?

2) Do you want to focus on loading the bin to the emulator OR do you want to burn a chip

I'm guessing you are messed up on the hex start and stop. I can remember having the same problem the first time I burned a chip using Burn2 program and creating the bin with Tuner Pro. But

if you have an emulator ( like an Ostrich ) why do you want to fool with burning a chip

With tunerPro RT, upload the bin to the emulator - should show "success" at the bottom of the screen. and the hit varify emulator with bin and it should also show "success" a the bottom of the page.

Burning a chip
After you burn the chip, if you read the file ( its an option with the Burn2 program you can see in the file if is padded with a bunch of fill data. If you see this fill data, then you know you have a hex miss match. The chip is burned from the end of the file to the front. So any excess space gets filled in. The ECU reads the data off the chip from the start of the file to the back. So your computer is probably looking at the fill data instead of the real data you where expecting it to look at. My guess is you are probably getting a check engne message as well.

OK,

Here's a couple of questions:
1) Do you have a program like Burn2 and a chip burner?
2) Has the emulator worked before and is it an Ostrich

Reason I ask:

1) If the battery is dead or low in the emulator it will not accept a bin.
On the Ostrich you need to open the emulator to test the battery. I had an emulator with a bad battery

2) If you have a chip burning tool, Moates has directions on how to test the emulator by connecting it into the chip burning hardware.
-You can get the directions from Moates or I can send them to you. This test is primarily designed to see if you have a short in the ribbon cable going from the emulator to your ECU

3) If you can burn a chip with Tuner Pro and a chip burning tool and it works in your car then your problem is definitely with your emulator
-If chip burn doesn't work, then you probably are burning the file to the cip incorrectly

4) With the 512 chips, I believe you need to stack the file you load to the chip with 4bins to fill the chip. 16 x8 x4 = 512 I am assuming you are using the 6E file definition.

We can talk on the phone if you want. just shoot me a PM and I'll give you my phone number
