An "F1" error can mean a couple things (in order of likelihood):
1) The calibration (HEX) code was not properly identified when the unit was plugged in. In most cases this occurs when then key is not in the ON position when plugging the unit in. This can also occur if the battery is disconnected or goes dead and the unit is not properly reinitialized (disconnect, turn key ON, reconnect) when power is restored.
2) The custom files built do not match the vehicle's HEX code. This can occur if the vehicle has been reflashed since the original order was placed or the since we were notified of the HEX code.
3) For canned tuning, the PCM calibration simply isn't supported yet. This can be resolved with future updates but we need to know what the calibrations are in order to make those updates.
As far as programming, if you do not turn the key to the off position after programming (including if the programming fails with an "F1" or "Checksum" error), the vehicle will not immediately start. This is because the PCM is still in "Programming" mode. You must return to the main menu, or in some cases disconnect the unit to exit the programming mode. Then you can simply turn the key "OFF" and restart the vehicle.
The Level 3 is written for 91+ octane. If you could let me know what your HEX code is I can take a look at the file and see what the problem is. Also, what is you dad's HEX code.
Not sure what the problem is with Pegasus. What do you mean by "it won't sync"? Does the software not detect the programmer? Does it not connect with the server?
Take care.
