    Default First try at flash - have problem

    Car is 97 Vette. Loaded my saved orig tun file and made 2 changes to the stock tun file. Saved changes to new file. When I try to reflash this message displays:

    EFILive has detected that this pcm does not have a valid calibration.

    EFI can still read the damaged calibration or reflash a new calibration.
    Click ok to continue...

    Do I need a different pcm?

    When you read the OS/cal what does it say?

    To me it sounds like EFILive 'thinks' the PCM is not 100% functional because the PCM did not respond to a request of some sort.

    If you can locate the folder on your PC -
    \My Documents\EFILive\V7\Bug reports

    in there will be some files with the extention .blx
    If you can send the ones you have in there from the date you tried programming to support@efilive.com then we can take a look just to make sure it's a false warning.

    Cheers,
    Ross
