I purchased Tuner Cat about a year and a half ago and then never downloaded it from the site (Madwolf had tuned my ECM so I never needed TC). However, now I need to do some calibration on my brother's Firebird. I downloaded TC and registered it with no problems, but it will not accept the password they gave me for the Formlib download link (apparently this is where the EE definition file comes from?). I emailed TunerCat early this morning but have not heard back from them and we need the ECM recalibrated by about 6pm tonight as I won't be back in my brother's town for atleast 2 weeks.

Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks,
Michael

 

This has come up before so you may want to search this forum or the popular www.z28.com forum. There's a date stamp issue that you may be able to correct. Here's the FAQ from the TunerCat website:

-------
Why does the Tuner program ask for a password when I select an ECM?

The ECM Definition Files have provisions for password protection. This provision was included for users who are developing their own ECM Definition Files using the Definition File Editor program. While we do not use this feature with our Definition Files, these files do contain a 'default' password that the Tuner program ignores. These passwords (including the default password) are keyed to the 'last modified' date of the Definition File so if this date is changed, for instance by editing the Definition File with any program other than the C.A.T.S. ECM Definition File Editor, the default password will no longer be correct.

Also if an ECM Definition File is e-mailed without being zipped, the 'last modified' date will be changed when the file is downloaded. This is one reason we always zip the Definition Files. If you want to e-mail a Definition File that you have created, you must zip it first.
