Default flashpro not connecting to ecu

ok so recently i bought flashpro, plugged it into my car, uploaded a calibration, it worked fine, datalogged it and it was running rich, so i went to put a new calibration on it, and it will not connect to the car, im not sure what is going on, ive tried everything (different computers, etc)

i unhooked the battery to reset the ecu, then tried again, and it connected fine, i tried to load a calibration, seemed to work, then i went to datalog and it lost connection again. and now i cant get it to connect again, anyone have any idea what this problem could be? i have a friend and his flashpro did the exact same thing

please help, thanks

Try re-installing the usb drivers.
Review the help file in the flashpro software.

I have never had such an issue with a flashpro unit.
Your best bet maybe to email hondata technical support or call them directly.

Glad you figured it out.
All you needed to do according to the flashpro help file is re-upload a calibration.
