Sorry for the (sort of) duplicate post. I tried to amend the title on a related thread but couldn't.

I have a 91 GVR4 with an OSTRICH 1.

Basically, I overwrote the "tune" on my GVR4 with a blank file. I am assuming that the "tune" is a bin file.

I was simply trying to read the tune on the ECU since the previous owner said that it would be a good starting point in learning more about tuning.

Is there anywhere that I can go to get a blank file. I tried using this website to upload a basic "tune" to the ostrich by way of EMUTILITY.

I used most of the default options and the car still won't start. I can't just bring the car to a tuner. I am unemployed and can't spend the money. I planned on selling the car with a tune or enjoying it at some later date.

What damage did I do and how can I undo the damage?

Thanks!

*UPDATE*

I have been able to get the car started by getting a base 1g bin file on the car that I found from the DSM-ECU groups.
