(I tried to re program it and it would even accept any comands nothing)

I am confused with your statement- above - Were you or were you not able to read the decoder.

If you can read the decoder Set CV8 to 8 and then remove the power for  15 or 20 seconds, Power must be removed on Tsunami's or it will not reset.

Did you change the address and maybe are not calling up the corrrect unit? Units will idle but not respond if the correct loco is not being  addressed.  Will it respond to address 3 ?
