Started to have a tps problem so i unplugged the tps connector and found it was dirt so i cleaned it and plugged it back in and boom the car died so i said okay normal. so i went to start it back up and nothing so i plugged the laptop in and no com whats so ever. so now im like wtf, so i too it out and apart and the trace for pin 1b is burnt so i fix that and still not working so i try reflashing my firmware no luck there ether. so what could it be here is a screen shot of me trying new firmware.
