Accessport help!
Today i got my cobb accessport in the mail i installed my accesport to my ecu and changed my map to Stage1 ACN91 Octane. everything worked fine but when i went to start my car after finishing the download i wouldnt start. i had a friend try and jump me and it still wouldnt work. im not sure whats wrong if its my battery or something to do with the ecu. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Flash back to stock if it works make sure your AP has the latest firmware including latest maps... Thats some scary news!

Make sure you unplugged the green connectors after the flash. If it still doesn't start, try flashing back to stock.

You may have a bricked ecu? Happened to me at eq a few years back. Is it just totally frozen on those screens? Those greens must be plugged when flashing though. And removed when driving.

I've noticed that my access port won't communicate with the ecu when the battery is low, it would just keep asking me to cycle the ignition. get your battery charged and try again, perhaps?

Try posting on the Cobb forum, they are pretty helpful.

When you turn the key to the full on position does the CEL come on?

When green connectors are attached and ignition is on, do the fans and relays cycle? If not, your ECU is bricked and you'll need to contact Cobb and send it in to be fixed.

Thanks

Or tactrix can unbrick too. But if your access port is married. Cobb for sure.
