Okay So I am doing the Evo 8 ECU swap in my 2G 96 Eclipse. Pin swaps went fairly easy after I got the hang of removing them. I plugged in my Tactrix 2.0 cable, and reflash adapter.
I started up EcuFlash, and went to read the ROM -failed. Then I attempted to flash over a ROM, and received this;

I am assuming it couldn't read because a combination of either/both, A. Computer wasn't set to "High Performance" or B. My flash pin isn't correctly installed.
Flash pin might not be making contact because I had to remove the pin that it came with and swapped it with a smaller pin from one of my OEM wires. I should have checked the front of the plastic harness housing to ensure that it was fully seated. I heard the "click" and couldn't pull it out, but it might not have went in far enough.
Anyways, the not reading isn't my issue. My issue now is that EcuFlash won't let me do anything. It's responsive, but won't let me "Read" <Didnt try "Write"> and if I exit, I get;
"EcuFlash is in the processes of reflashing your ECU. Exiting now would cause your ECU to be rendered permanently unresponsive."
So I am assuming that'd "brick" my ECU correct?
I am not sure why I attempted to "Write" if "Read" didn't work.... stupid me.
The Tactrix 2.0 cable is still lighting up solid blue with flashing white, green, and red colors to the right.
What do I do from here?
