Will -

If the tuning did not complete, you're still at stock. The "hangup" you describe sounds to me like it could be a weakening battery - one that still has enough power to crank the engine but that doesn't have enough for the programmer to generate the 18V signal needed to tell the PCM to accept a new tune.

If you could put the battery on a charger for a while before retrying the tuning process it may then work. And, if you have a charger capable of providing a "trickle charge" (usually 2 Amps or less), I'd just leave it connected while you try programming.

Sorry to hear about you being out of work. That has to really add to your stress level right now. Hope things turn around for you soon.
