Default Car wont run with Utec... :(

I just recently installed a Utec in my '02 WRX. Since then my car will not run.

I am running firmware version 5.8 with turboxs's stg.1 and stg. 2 maps and perameters for stgs. 1-3. I am 100% sure that I have every thing connected right.

Would my Cobb tune that I had before be the problem?

What do you guys think?

the cobb map in your rom file should not be an issue.
but not installing the utec correctly could.
did you secure the little ground wire for utec?

where did you get the utec? were you able to make a connection when uploading the maps through hyperterminal? i assume you have a utec that took a permanent dump, or something with your connections... read the manual again and do what jax says...

I have the ground for the utec connected to the xframe as the manual calls it.

The odd part is, when I have the utec's map selecter set to map 0 (stock) the car runs fine. If I have the selecter set to map one it doesn't run at all.

I got the utec on NASIOC from a seller with a good rep. I was also able to connect and download maps to my utec.

it sounds like the other maps are either tuned for previous car
or totally borked..

what mods are on your car?
can you down load maps off utec?
do you want me to compare them to
the utec maps I have?

MODS; Perrin turbo inlet pip, hks intake, hks downpipe, spt catback, blitz bov (came with the car)

I haven't tried to download maps off my utec but I can upload them off my computer to my utec.

The maps I'm using are the ones off of turboxs's website. I was using turboxs's stock map and stage 2 map.

I think map 0 disables injector scaling, while map 1 and up use it. Is the utec scaling your injectors improperly? You say you picked this up from a previous owner? Did you walk through all the settings and make sure they were set for your car and not the previous owner's?

read manual about maps..0..1..2..3..4..
0 is factory ecu controls...so you right about disabling injector scaling.
down load your map & i'll compare them to the tuned ones I have..

Do you have the right Utec for your car? I can't remember which ones, but with the first Utec's they were year specific. Call TXS with your Utec revision # and see if it right for your car.
