I had to retune because of an adjustment in fuel pressure. Changed my injector latency and was flashing to the ECU when I get this error.

And now the car won't start. It just tries but won't turn over.
Is it bricked?
 
sometimes i get weird errors to whileset reflashing, i just unhook everything and reboot computer and then retry, always works for me, if that doesnt work try unhooking your battery and turning on your lights, letting the voltage all drain out, then hooking back up, and with a freshly rebooted computer try to reflash.
 
one more thing make sure your reflash connector is hooked up tight, shitty little thing falls out on its own half the time for me.
 
Try to just read the ROM and see if you can do that. If that works, try to flash that same ROM back unchanged.

I had that happen and I was freaking out! I thought a bricked the ECU away from home. I did a read, then a write back of the ROM that I just read and that worked. So I made the changes to the one that I read and saved it then re flashed it back.
