I have a 97 cobra mustang. it has a fully built crate motor with over 10k in just the motor With all the paperwork. I bought it for it home noticed it has a SCT4 tuner also. Well after the car gets good an warmed up, it would die, wait 15-20 minutes it will fire back up. Okay now here this the Turner is on it they said it had it over 3,800 no tunes need uploaded. Long story short this old girl talk my dad into telling tell him. Does she just need to master reset to Turner and the ECM also so now the car won't hit a lick a lick. I just need to know what recognition do I need to know about getting it back and lined out thanks

About this mustang after I got home it would start and run, I've got good warmed up it would die all right about 15-20 minutes and do it again then I come to find out, it has a sct4 Turner and it said it had 3852 new updates needed installed. Okay long story short somehow the ECM and the tuner boat got master reseted. And now it won't hit a lick it all. I have another ECM to install. What I need to do or what would you advise I need to do just to get worried and fire again thank you

So you updated the tuner, lost your tunes (I assume) and now it won't fire with a built motor?

Did I hit the cliff notes correctly there?
