same thing happen to me. Reinstall Cobb but this time dont save your stock style map then uninstall and you should be on the newest up to date Nissan OEM factory map that was preloaded on Cobb and your car should be fine again

Cobb is so fragile that every little static shock will corrupt the OEM map that you saved so when you uninstall you probably loaded your saved map and it was corrupted

Make sure your intake sensors are in tight then do my method and it should fix it man. Cause i had got the same code.

ECM means electronic Control module which basically is your ECU and basically its a bad reflash. happen to me then some other guy on the forum and i told him what to do and he said it fixed it so 8/10 its my problem too

do my method first before you get it towed man! make sure you update cobb too so u can have the most up to date nissan map after my method. KEEP ME UPDATED!

PM ya just in case ya missed it! I suggest you really try it though! worst case scenario is you bring to dealership which i highly doubt plus you would bring it there anyway if you dont try.

not really alot of negative. Just a few people have problem with uninstalling but its not even a big problem cause you still get a new oem map update i believe. that is what cobb told me

MaxToTheG37, I'm sorry to change the subject here, but I just noticed you have 12,278 posts to this forum?? And that's roughly over an 18 month period?? That is something like 25 posts per day, every day... Do you have a girlfriend (or boyfriend if applicable) ??
