    2004 Dodge Neon SRT4 Potential ECU Brick

    Last night I went to tune a 2004 Dodge Neon SRT4. I read the ECU file, mildly updated fuel, idle, misc parameters and bought the credits. Once I wrote to the ECU, it fully completed the flash with no noticeable issues or power drop.

    After the "successful" flash, the car would not crank, prime fuel pumps or communicate to VCM Suite to flash the car back to stock. Any idea what could have caused this?

    What does it say when you try to flash it again? Do you know how to take a screen shot and post it?

    I do but I'm not with the car currently. It says "Detect Protocol Failed" when either attempting to read or write.

    I'd contact HPtuners support. You'll need to collect an info log and send them the info log, the dat debug and the tune file. You need to collect your info log while connected to the vehicle, key on.
