That was a ********* bad day!!!

Today in the morning I want to start my L, but he went of two times and the 'Service Engine Soon' light went on. I inserted my Predator and he gave me the failure message, I don't remember exactly, 'P0102 Mass Air Flow Volume...'.
Okay I thought I will do this later on and I installed my 22'' rims.
After this I wanted to change my tune, because of the 22'' rims. But I didn't get a correct connection between my Laptop and the Predator. Hadn't have this problem before. I got angry and tried instead of the tune the r5 release .
Now my Predator gives this message after booting:
'Application missing or corrupt' and always when I try to reinstall the software my Ford PC Downloader shuts down and do nothing.

And my 'Service Engine Soon' engine is still on. Maybe someone can give me some hints what I can do.

He got a disconnect during the reflash of the firmware, which of course is the bootstrap, OS, runtime app, etc. hence, hosing it. Perhaps the Predator has a PROM failsafe built-in that will allow a reload by a key sequence on the pad. Worst case, he may need an EEPROM reburned for him by DiabloSport, which means sending the unit to them. I would reccomend a call to DiabloSport ASAP.

Hello Suavy,

thanks for your help, but I'm not Andre, my name is Christian. But Andre is also a buddy of mine.
I sent James from RWTD and DiabloSport a Email, I hope they will answer soon!!!
On Eastern there is a meeting with a little 1/4 mile race and I don't want to start with my Original tune.
My dealer tells me, he bought the Predator in Florida, more I don't know.

Any hints about the Mass Air question???

Christian, forgive me I thought Andre uses GermanLightning for a screen name?

I can ask around about the MAF issue. I will send your post address to some tuner friends of mind. I'm sure they can help you out.

This is very difficult for me, because reading and writing English is okay, but speaking to another person isn't easy with my School English. There are so much technical words I don't know.

Maybe I try it!!!
