ECU

Did you buy the flashpro new or used? Were you able to verify that it was unlocked if it was used? What tune did you try to upload and from where did you get it? The file could be corrupted. The battery could be low. Could be a number of different things. I would take the stock factory tune, that should have been saved to your PC, reupload it to the hondata, then reflash the ECU and see where you're at.

Where did you get the tune from?

I brought it new it was unlocked when it was first connected to the car then I had to register it vin number and the ecu , I check battery but it’s at 12.6v lights come on radio everything does too when I turn the car on it sounds kinda dry like when it’s on limp mode. I’m not currently home but as as soon as I get home I’ll give more details and try to re upload to a stock tune.we

Thank you so much I got it all hook up I heard a noise coming from the engine bay and all the lights on the left bottom on my computer turn on green what should I do now or what tune should I do I’ll wait for help before I do anything on my own and what time should I use
I have a skunk2 air intake
Skunk2 exhaust
And a action clutch stage 3

Man, I am so "non-educated" on the finer points of tune uploads that, after reading the above posts, I'm pretty convinced that if I ever purchase items for a tune for any of my vehicles (9th Gen Civics + other Honda & Acura vehicles), I'll just take it to a pro Honda tuner and pay them for the work.

Just the thought of possibly crippling my vehicle would make me ask the pro what items / brands he recommends before I purchase anything.

To be honest with you it was pretty easy yes I stumble a lot but we all have a lot of resources around I looked around for answer and they spark it. But if you not confident with doing it yourself, I would recommend paying someone else to do the tune for you and let them explain it step by step and make sure you don’t miss anything,

@Axelparker11 , I take it that you did get your Civic up, running and operating in a desired state?

Yes I got it up running I just used a reflash and got rid of the mis fires I had, I took the car for a spin works perfectly I’ll definitely let someone else handle the future tubes tho even tho I wanna learn by doing it myself I would rather have someone else do it for me😂😂.

Glad to hear you got it up and running!

I would caution new Flash Pro users to pick a moderate tune to get started, choosing an aggressive radical tune will more than likely cause problems. I picked the wrong intake value on my first tune and the car just did not run right. It created loud backfiring. I wouldn't push the envelope too far the first time out especially, doing this yourself for the first time. No doubt after you have added some major upgrades like intake, exhaust, big bore cat or cat removed, powerful alternator upgrade Plus upgrading to the big Four, racing radiator maybe even a new fuel rail, fuel pump upgrades then pay for a professional tune which is not cheap. They will use a dyno to get you dialed right in. Playing around with the Flash Pro yourself is a way to keep a lot of tune expenses in check.
