    Default Roar Runner does nothing

    so I pulled my RR out of my 512k pcm and installed it in to 1mb pcm, I got the header from moates. theres not a solder issue, I solder 402 parts all day long.
    I can program the emulator but I cant read it, after programming it the vehicle does nothing, no fuel pump prime or anything, I even tried to throw a tune in it with TC, and the same thing, nothing. it will take a tune, but I cant read it back out it gives me an error trying to read.
    I swear all the time I spend troubleshooting this thing I could have tuned the old flashing way.

    What error do you get when you try to read it back out with EFILive?

    Try full flashing it (OS & calz)
    Mine lost the internal battery and it would only work after a full flash.

    Every once in a while mine gets in a strange state, but usually a read takes care of it.

    I couldn't read mine until I started the engine.
    Full flash it then see if it will start the engine.

    Can you check the battery voltage and see what it is?

    The battery should be common. But even thru Craig should be inexpensive.

    I found a place locally that has a battery I think will work in the RR, like $4 or so. I can confirm price and if the pins work if needed.
