Exclamation !URGENT!..car will not say running!

well i thought i fried my computer a couple days ago after tuning it. after the tuning was complete my fans kept running and my SES light was blinking. also when i started the car, it would run for 3 sec. and die. my scanmaster was showing no nothing which tells me theres no PCM life. well after geting a new one.. my problem presists.

what the hell is wrong!?!? i need my car so i can go back to school

No sensors or vacuum lines unplugged? Intake elbow on securely?

im positive.

the other day i reflashed my car. it finished completely and told me the flash was successful but the fans never shut off and my SES light was blinking. i instantly figured i musta flashed a corrupt file since i used a file i have never used before. so i got another one from Ion(madwolf) and it is still doing the same thing. he assured me the pcm worked when it left his shop so him and i are both lost.

when my battery runs low... the starter will click but it clicks VERY fast. just something else i noticed. something else that is strange is when the start starts to click real fast... my scanmaster mysteriously comes to life but only for a few seconds.

any more ideas?

That is a hard one to tell. To make sure it isn't the VATS you could get a program that has the VATS disabled

Brad don't you have vats disabled. i know you did it to my car. Just a thought i would say bad ground or weak battery and no charging from the alternator.
