Try recovery mode. It's not uncommon for the BA pcm to have no VIN or VID block issues that prevent some scan/programming tools from connecting or reading. I've had a pcm that was sent to me because it wasn't able to be read by the tuner. The VIN was an incorrect format & also had a mismatched strategy & OSID. It was readable using recovery mode. What issues are you having apart from not being able to read that make you think it's failing? I've found that you can use an ABU-221 or ABU-251 pcm as a replacement on the BA V8's. I've previously replaced 32KC with 32KG & from my understanding, it's an update to 32KC. Filtering BA 4V, manual, & excluding GT variants, there are 4 options. They all share the same OSID HABNC. If you compare the strategies, there's not much difference between them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda598 Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 The car will start fine, let's say twice (hot or cold). Then will not start again until cools down. Rough idle ect ect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjtrbo Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 It's not one of these ones is it? Pouring cold water on it is the fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
