I had similar situation. What I did was, I loaded the car on truck and took to dealership. I asked them to put everything back to factory ( took about 30 min ) then drove the car home and did the flash myself again.

Don't worry I'm sure Todd can fix it

I was an idiot and 100% my fault to cancel the flashing process when it's already started. I have flashed a few more times since, no problems.

Sorry to hear about your bad experience. I read your thread. Another horror story for the google review pages heh? It sure pays to read the reviews first. I can only imagine it was no fun being treated like that....truly shameful .

Yeah you really need to be on your toes when doing any flash or de flash. If your set up 100% right its straight forward. But one little thing not 100% right and it can bite. Your fortunate you were dealing with Todd K. He is a true gentleman and would never ever do what i just read happened to zdimic. He is one guy that will work through things and do whatever it takes to ensure you are fully set up and satisfied. Hows your Proto tune going by the way? 100% happy?

Even though I haven't drove my car for a few months due to rainy/cold season, but I still do remember how good the car is on Proto flash and MS109.

The only problem I had was that I don't even want to drive the car if I didn't have MS109 in the tank. Bad bad addiction and it costs a lot of money to keep myself happy.

Well I haven't had the pleasure yet. 100 over our way is hard to find. Probably just as well. I seem to get into enough trouble as it is just with our 98. Hell. 109 must be dynamite .
