I finally fixed all of the mechanical issues, tried to read the tune and it appears to be tuner locked as I cannot read it at all. My buddy did not tune it, and the previous owner said that it "may" have a cobb flash on it but doesnt have the accessport or the stock file. I dont understand how that could be the case because a paired accessport is useless to anyone but the vehicle owner, but I digress..
What are my options to get this thing fixed? Can I write a licensed stock file over the current "cobb" tune, or am I on the hunt for a PCM that isnt tuner locked?
Any help would be appreciated.
