i am not sure if this question goes here but i really needed help. I was just putting in a new tune with my cable and everything was going good (fans came on like they normally do when i add a tune). It got to about 75 percent done and then said something like "program failure", then "program aborted." I tried it again and it could not read my pcm it said and then said it failed when it tried resetting it. Now when i turn my key to the "on" position, both fans kick on and stay on. I tried starting it and it cranks but won't turn over. I've put tunes in my car like 5-6 times before, i dont know what made this time different. Did I burn my pcm?

 

Yep, unfortunately, you did burn it. I repair them for $40 + $13 shipping if you're interested in getting it fixed.

 

how did it burn out? whats the turn over time for repairs?

 

Any time when the programming is interrupted, the PCM will need to be repaired. A failed program can occur due to many different reasons. (such as low battery in the car or laptop, spike/noise in the car's electrical system, a program or a device that interfered with the uploading program, etc)
I ship PCMs next day after I receive it and it takes 2 days for USPS do deliver it to you.

If you think you'll be retuning your car often, you may consider getting it socketed. It will pay itself off next time (if it happens) when you need a repair.
