after a reboot of the tuner, and i think i turned the car off at some point... the H2 wont start now.

happened before and after letting the H2 sit.. i was able to start it.. not this time.

after talking to diablo, they say i have to send the PCM and tuner in. tuner is very old.. and i have to pay $99 to upgrade it.

even if i bought a new tuner.. i still need to send it in to recove the PCM....

plus.. the H2 is in the middle of my driveway and the inlaws will be here this afternoon!

I hate to break the news to you but you probably fried your ECM. I did the same thing with the same tuner when I got overly anxious and turned the key too early. (except I was in FL on my way home to NC)

I ended up having to replace the ECM (got a used one out of a junkyard)

Good luck,
