Default car wont start HELP!!

I was using my cobb accesport, and when i tried to upload a map and i got an error. now I can't get the car to start, and attempts to reflash/uninstall are unsuccessful..It cranks, but doesn't turn over. The radiator fan spins though, same like it does during flashing. No codes present. I had my car towed..please help! It's my DD, and I am in a very harsh situation..

have you tried unpluggin the battery for a lil bit?

also check your ecu fuse behind the battery box. the fans will run but car wont start if that fuse is blown.

The fans natively default on, and the ecu tells them to turn off. If they are constantly on with the key on, then the ecu is not telling them to turn off. This could be due to the ecu not having a map at all, ecu not getting power (blown fuse or unplugged ecu harness), or ecu failure.

If the map upload failed, it is most likely that the ecu does not have a valid map installed now. Your fix will be specific to Cobb, so it would be best that you call/email them. FYI, I believe they do not "support" the 350Z application anymore. Best of luck. Please post up if they give you a fix to this problem so others will know.

This happened once with my Upev, and disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes took care of it. Not sure if it will work with Cobb but maybe worth a shot.

Disconnect the battery and wait a little and reconnect.
