bought a 05 GTO a few months ago , and the original owner had a custom tune put on the car , i guess the place where he had it done locked the pcm!!! No idea y! i bought it from the 2nd owner and he had no idea of who had done the work since the car came from TX and i live in IL. I have been told that the computer is junk?? I was hoping some one would have some info for me if any one has ran into this problem, or maybe some one that can unlock it for me?

just about every work shop over here locks the pcm after they tune it
contact the tuner and they may unlock it for you

except that neither he or the last owner he bought it from can remember who the tuner was...

Here is what I would do.... DEMAND A NEW PCM if the car still is locked and the DEALER you purchased the car from cannot locate the guy who locked it, I would demand my money back. If I got any static from them I would notify every agency I could regarding the sale of a defective car and cause a major stink. I would go to the attorney general and get them involved.

I would not pussy foot around.

^^ I think that might work if he bought it from a dealer, but the way I read it, he bought it from an individual.

i did buy it from a private party, the car is still under GM warranty so i am going to have them get me a new ecm and see how that goes, my dad works for a GM Chevy , so i am sure they want the old one back...
Hope they dont void the warranty since it was programmed!!!

you can unlock it without the pin code you just have to find someone who can do it

REally, do you have any places that do this ? I dont know where to start to look for a place i have made a several calls to Speed shops and no one seems to be able to do it?

You want a tuning/dyno shop. They may have the equipment to unlock it.
