    Thanks Taz for all the help. I'll try a full flash again later tonight and see what happens.

    I'm a Gen III guy as well, i've done a handfull of E38's in stock cars but this is my first conversion. Didn't think disabling VATS would be such a pain! lol

    I'll let you know how it goes tonight.

    Thanks again!

    If the full flash fails, try grounding the "Starter Relay Control" wire through an 80 ohm resistor or the trigger of a bosch relay. On an 08' it should be(IM guessing cause I don't know the exact app.) pin 52 Connector X1, yellow/black wire.

    Sorry Gameover, you can't give people the impression our VATS disable doesn't work and the only solution is to do it via other products, I know there was issues with the starter relay causing problems but that has been confirmed fixed on quite a number of year models.
    Everyone, be sure to check your DTC's too, the ECM will tell you why it won't let the engine start!

    What do you mean here?

    If it's what I am thinking you mean, that behaviour is not uncommon when disabling VATs and after a flash. Sometimes they kick immediately, sometimes takes a couple shots. May be something to do with the start up fueling. Never bothered to get to the bottom of it, but regardless of VATs method it seems to pop up from time to time. VATs disable is very reliable, but different ECM's do exhibit odd behavior at times. But it may be a coincidence.

    If I recall it was the 2009+ OS's that would shut off the injectors if the starter relay was not connected, when we added the cal to change the starter relay type it fixed that issue.
    I could see a more positive look in your eyes at the end of your mini Virtual VE table training session at PRI, mission accomplished, that alone justified your airfares
    I no longer monitor the forum, please either post your question or create a support ticket.
