2004 explorer xls
i just got an xcal2 for 2004 4.0 xls. I flashed the truck to use the 89 tune, everything was going fine, then I tried to start the truck, it would not "turn"... I called James (great guy b.t.w.) seeking some help, and I ended up walking me through the "take back to stock" procedure... after that, the trucked started ok.

he suggested for me to email him the strategy code so that he could compose a couple of test tunes... he emailed them to me to try.... and still no luck; same result;;;;;;;

he thinks that the dealership might've flashed the truck...

has any one of you gone through this?

any ideas?
 






I had a similar problem, mine would start but ran like total crap, I was like a 2 cylinder. Turned out that there was a bug in SCT's starter tune for my computer code. But James figured it out and took excellent care of me. Just hang in there and give him a chance to figure out what's wrong.
