99 f350 starts then immediately quits after restore

[cruiserhed]

I've got an older 7170, I had thrown a speed sensor code and I wanted to restore the original backup before I took it to the dealer. It restored fine but when I start it now it runs for about 2 seconds then quits. I tried intalling a tune again, and it still does the same thing. So i'm dead in my driveway! I'll call you guys tomorrow, but does anyone know something I can try in the meantime??

I've had this thing for a long time and never had any problems.

thanks in advance,

Jud

Got any codes?

[cruiserhed]

whoa lots of them. the main one however is P1260 theft detected-vehicle immobilized.

here's the others which I think relate to the 1260:
P1670 electronic feedback
p0603 PCM KAM
P0670 Glow plug module

So now what??

thanks for your quick reply

[jbeasts10]

were you able to talk with anyone?they get you going?

[cruiserhed]

No, I tried, but I was on hold for quite a while, I wasn't sure how long someone was going to be around at diablosport. I'll have to try tomorrow.

[jbeasts10]

Gotcha..hopefully they will get you back up and running.

Everyone is at SEMA so we're short handed but we're trying to get to everyone as quickly as possible...
As for the vehicle theft immobilized when you go to program, modify options and turn PATS "on" then program. Let's try that first...

[cruiserhed]

Okay, I'll try that as soon as I get home from work.
thanks

That should fix ya.

[cruiserhed]

Maybe I missed a step, I don't see anywhere under options to do this.
thanks

[sohfast94]

Should say PATS off/on, You want "ON"

[cruiserhed]

Nope the only parameters that show up under modify tune is SHIFT

[cruiserhed]

Well that doesn't sound too good. I just got off the phone with the guys at Diablosport and it looks like I need to have my truck re-flashed at the dealership. That sounds expensive, any ideas what this is going to cost me anyone? On top of the $100 tow bill.
I don't know how it could've happened.
I'm not sure I want to spend $100 now on the upgrade and take another chance.
Thanks to the guys at diablosport for trying to get me going. I do appreciate your time.

The older tools were made quite sometime ago and the upgrade is for the newer hardware so the new files with the new programming structures can be installed... And they work perfect...
Try disconnecting the batteries for about 20minutes and then try and start it again when it's stock...

[cruiserhed]

okilly dokilly, I'll give it a shot.
