I have a ECU with a 29F400BC flash memory that I just replaced with a Roadrunner bought directly from Moates. The ECU was working well before, and there was no issues with the soldering. Now it doesn't boot and there is nothing on the CANbus. I am using TunerPro RT to connunicate with the Roadrunner, and using the data trace function I don't see any boot attempts at all.

I have tried both writing the flash and waking the ECU both with emulation on and off,
Is there something obvious I might have missed? This is my first attempt on this type of ECU tuning.

Engine is a Isuzu V6 6DE1
ECU is a Denso 275800-0997

Any advice is appreciated!

Not many here are familiar with TunerPro or even TunerPro RT. As much as I don't want to direct you away from this forum, you might have better luck woth the TunerPro forum for issues woth their software

Are you using the EFI live roadrunner? I'm not aware of any others if there are any

I get what you mean, but i havn't found much on that forum either. The Roadrunner itself is the exact same hardware as the one used with EFI live, which is why I figured people here may have some clues. I believe my issues are hardware related, but I'm not sure

Ok. Give it a little time. Might take some of the OG's to reply for the roadrunner as it's getting pretty old now and not many use it now.

Have you tried the EFI live forum?

Yes that is no problem! I know it is a bit old but I thought it matched the needs of this project very well, I havn't found any alternatives for this type of memory unfortunately.

I searched through the EFI live forum, nothing there seemed relevant to this issue, at least not at this stage. It appears people just plug in the roadrunner and it works straight away.

Unfortunately Moates is no longer in business.

I am not familiar with the ECU application you mentioned.
I suspect the one you are using is like the one meant for the LS1 style PCM. Since you mentioned CAN I think this is the one they had trouble with.

They had 1 version for a 512KB Version PCM and one for a 1MB version. The 1 MB version had some issues with stability and they never could resolve it, so they discontinued it.

I think he is back in business since a year or two back. I bought the roadrunner in June this year and talked to him a bit just before.

He said the 1MB version should work even for a 512KB firmware which is what I am using. But the stability issues are still there it seems
