Default Resolved! help with car not cranking

When i turn on the key i hear the fuel pump prime, and there is a click! the Wideband and gauges come on and everything.

then 1-2-3 it RE-SETS itself and does it again, and again and again

engine turns over and does not start!!!

PHEW!
thanks for the concern brain

i fixed it.
Basically some type of corruption with the firmware from the faulty cable i had plugged in...

i was freaked out though... my dash was clicking, and fuel pump kept pulsing when the key was on, and i thought i was getting like a power cycling effect but it was on the whole time

i pulled up tunerstudio in the car and it said there was a huge error message. i reloaded firmware and the base tune again and powercycled....and its fine!!!
