A quick check: Try taking a jumper cable, one end on the neg battery and the other end on a good clean bolt, etc. somewhere and try to crank it.

One day I went to start my car and it only clicked. I was away from home so I had to call AAA. They came out and tested the battery and said it was ok. The guy had got in the car, shut the door and pushed the lock button on the remote 3 times then the unlock button 3 times and the damn thing started right up. Still makes me shake my head. Give it a shot.

I don't have any ideas but it may be coincidental. Is there any possibility you bumped something or loosened a connection, wire, etc. while changing out the board? ECS has had a good rep on here. I hope they help you diagnose what's going on with your car and the tune they supplied. Good luck and keep us posted.

Perhaps post the name of the tuner and see if anyone else has had problems. It sounds like you know your way around cars so I'm betting it's the tune.

talked to ecs today and they said could have been a glitch in the download. They said send it back. I was not trying to say anything negative about ecs. Just trying to figure this out. Thanks for the responses.
