LOL...Ok, well I bought my son a 2000 firebird with the 3.8 and the guy had one with it and it plugged in and read everything and I was able to reset the ECU to default before I sold it. I kept the unit. Were the ECU ports for the V6 and V8 the same.
How do I tell what unit I do have?

Thanks again in advance for the help.

post up a picture of the tool you're talking about...

Thats why I chuckled...it is one and it read the diagnostics and I could run through the menu, etc...and I did reset the firebird to default.

it would read trouble codes/diagnostic codes, yes...

but it wouldn't tune it...

did you try to install one of the preset tunes to the car??

if it installed a tune to it.. you SURE that car is a v6??? I have never seen nor heard of a 3.8 v6 firebird EVER being supported by any diablosport tool....

so something is funky somewhere, or there's mis-information about the vehicle, heh...

try to install a tune to it.. let's see what happens ;-)
