I am finally getting around to gettting my tune...after more than 15 months with the turbo on the car! Yikes. Anyway, I am on my second revision from shamar but am having a problem with ECUFlash.
I haven't had any issue using ECUFlash to flash the base map, or either revision, to my ECU, but I can only run the program on a fresh install and I am worried that it may not be writing perfectly without the updated ECU definitions file from step 13. ECUFlash will not open for me after I update the subaru metadata directory. I fiddled around with it a bit and discovered that it was simply due to the massive increase in files it was trying to read on start-up. If I update the metadata/subaru folder with the linked file (as described in step 13), then remove everything inside of it except for all of the Legacy, Liberty, and base folders, I can start ECUFlash without any problems or errors reporting on the right side of the screen. Once I did this, however, and loaded one of the revisions Shamar sent me, many of the parameters inside of the lested list on the left were greyed out, where they were previously all black.
Should I be concerned, or am I just being paranoid? Can I properly read and write to the ECU on my 05 5MT LGT without updating the ECU definitions in ECUFlash?
