Hi there,
I’m looking for advice to resolve an issue with my fk8 with Hondata (professionally custom tuned).
I’ve recently had troubles with the car randomly not starting.
After unsuccessfully trying to pinpoint the issue (2 fuel pumps changed), I decided to take it to the Honda dealer. Before doing so I “returned to stock” with my flashpro.
The dealer wasn’t able to identify the problem but proceeded to install a factory update on my ECU.
Now here’s my problem:
-when I connect my flashpro/pc to the car I can see that it’s still jailbroken and locked to the ECU/VIN but the binary currently installed is listed as “unknown”.
-I wanted to unlock the flashpro from the car (to pair it again at a later date and download the current factory calibration) but to do so I have to “return to stock”. Would I be reflashing my original (non factory-updated) calibration if I did so?
I’m asking because in case I have to return the car to the dealer for further troubleshooting I don’t want them to see I tampered with the ECU (by erasing the recent “update”).
-I’m assuming I’m not locked out of reflashing the ECU (i.e with a custom tune) but maybe I am?
(I’m disinclined to try before I know exactly what could happen).
Hopefully I’ve explained my situation well enough to receive some advice, which would be greatly appreciated.
