At least it runs now....and I can't tell a difference without the Hypertech program installed.

I would NEVER buy a progarmmer second hand. You never know what some A hole did to it! I would be kickin someone's a$$ for that!!!!!!

If you aren;t scarred from this event, try the Superchips Programmer. I ran the Hypertech on 4 of mine, than switched to the Superchips. It has more options for a more tuneable ride!!! Never had an issue with the Superchips programmer either. Also you can print out the DTC codes to keep with you so you can troublehoot if you're ever out somewhere and you have issues. I paid $350 otd for mine and am very happy with it.

I would replace that battery and make sure ALL acc's, radio, lights are all off when programming as well. This will help with the whoel power issue while progarmming. That may have triggered the initial issue.

Good luck, feel free to Pm me and I can give you a couple different program suggestions on the Superchips setup.
