I can not access my ECU period. I've tried every single application imaginably including ECUTECK and i don't get any responses back from the ecu. I just says denyso_bootload_cmd over and over again until it times out.

Please help, i don't car if i salvage the map, i just want the thing nuked. I'm about to rip it out and blow it up.

What kind of car?
Are you familiar with the diagnostic mode connectors?
Does the car still run? (i.e. are you worried that the ECU is bricked?)

I have a 02 wrx auto wagon. Yes i am familiar with the connectors. This happened when i was trying to get my car ECUTECK tuned. The tuner tried everything including openecu.

Yes the car still runs just the port is unresponsive.

Did you just post this on NASIOC as well? And you just put in a turbo timer? I wouldn't be surprised if you somehow cut or spliced a wrong wire somewhere.

when you close the green connectors, and key on, do the fans cycle on and off?

Is the ecu a replacement such as gems or other non-denso ecu ?

Well i just got back from subaru and they say the wiring is perfectly fine. They say the problem is the flash that was put on it is superseding all attempts to re-flash and because of that is locking me out (having to do with the map starting with X). The mechanic said that there is nothing that i can do to remove it other than get in touch with the map maker and see if he can get it off.

So i need a new ecu, does anyone know if the 2002 wrx manual ecu will work in an automatic version?
