2000 gt computer question

[Mustang_Cotto]

i have a 2000 gt 5 spd and my father had bought same year car but when he got his the guy gave him a SCT tuner with the car my dad didnt care much for the motor cause he was swapping it right away, so the car he bought had the same upgrades as mine, catless x pipe,catback, throttle body, CAI, coils,injectors. i wanted to use the tuner that came with my fathers car since he had no use for it and i know how when you buy a tuner its can only be used on the car you set it up for, so i thought why not swap the computers so i can use the tuner? i did the swap today and when i put the old one in the my car it wouldnt start. do i need to hook up the tuner with it or is this not possible at all? i had work so i put my old one back in since i didnt have time to mess with it.

Wait you lost me on the end there lol. You put your computer back into your car? Or his in your car and it wouldn't start?

i first took out my original one and put in his and it wouldnt start so i took it out and put my original one back in and it started right up

Ok yea his won't start probably because his MAF is calibrated for the mods and higher airflow due to having the tune in it. Your best bet is to just take the unlocked tuner and have someone write you a mail order tune. I know most will say have American Muscle do it with their Bama tunes, but I personally like Brenspeed. And it costs like $75 for one tune or 3 for $100 or something like that.

ok thanks a lot ill check, even if the tuner programmed the other computer, it will still connect to mine if i buy one of those email tunes?

Set his car back to stock with the tuner. That will unlock it. Then send Brenspeed or whatever you get the tune from, your PCM code, and they will be able to write you a tune for it. Just let them know what mods you have as well.

If u swap the computer .maybe your key is not codded for that computer and that's why it's not starting . The chip in your key doesn't match?
