look at your stock rom id. You can't just flash another rom over without copying the immobilizer code into it.

Ok I understand u the car has some mods done to it also.like bigger cams and turbo will it still be under the stock I'd number also.Are do I have to find out what file they use cause when I purchased the car I was told jms racing tuned it and a guy name kazz.So how do I pull that rom file from the ecu thanks.

use a tactrix cable and ecuflash to read it. If it's locked use the unlock tool from aktivematrix

What happens when you hit read? Does it bring up the read templates?
