Did you pull your stock tune first and email it to them before you mailed it out? That’s what you’re supposed to do

If you have your stock tune file still (hopefully you do) reload it. But I’d take a read first and do a compare to see if they loaded your stock tune file

Thank you for your reply
I think with original ECM unlock service I don't have to email the tune
However, I read the ECM before starting the car, it is the same as factory original tune

You didn’t force the plugs into the wrong spot did you? Are they full seated?

They should have went in the pcm smoothly and connected smoothly and drew the connector onto the ocm when you flip the handle on the connector

My color connectors don’t match the colors on the pcm the grey and the tan are swapped lol. But they will only let you put them in one way. One time in a rush I tried forcing it and broke 1 side of the slider - there’s little plastic nubs in the pcm that will prevent you from putting them in the wrong way. I would contact hp tuners asap, could be something wrong with your pcm

But try writing your tune back to it first I suppose, see if that fixes it. It’s just a calibration file

they could have messed it up when they unlocked it. They change blocks of the code. They also have to open it up on a bench

Mm
Interesting idea
The file on unlocked ECM are the exact match with my original file that I saved
What do you mean calibration file?
Also waiting for my tuner to send me my new file
But I wanted to see if ECM after unlocking will work
