I did another flash this morning and all was fine driving for about 10 minutes and the car suddenly devloped a 1500 rpm rev limit. The only code it threw was random muliple misfire. Everything else seems fine, MAF appx 3.5 gps@ idle.ECT and TPS signal is fine, I expected a possible code for the crank sensor but no. I flashed the factory image back onto it and no luck.
 
After unhooking the batt. I had no luck. I pulled out the ecu out and opened it to smell and inspect it, looked and smelled fine. I put it back in and now it runs fine. I'm gonna put my modified flash back on and drive around to make sure it's ok. :rocks:
 
might have not been grounded properly to the chasis gotta watch that its a big problem with starions its a small lil black wire that bolts onto the starions ecu bracket if u forget to put it back on it gives the car problems just make sure your ecu is grounded properly
 
The plastic flashable ecu is insulated, no body ground. I drove the $H** out of the car last night and no issue. Just had to reset the ecu, pulling the batt. cable and toutching them together was not enough.
