Hello

I finally had some spare time for my personal Evo 8 2003 and hooked it up on my Dynapack dyno. I did some power runs with the stock rom and then flashed a stock Tephra V7 rom that I will use as a base for tuning. All went fine. Then I connected with Evoscan v2.9 and did some logging. Suddenly when logging and @5500 rpm I got kicked offline and was not able to reconnect to Evoscan. Could also not connect to Ecuflash anymore either... Tried reboot laptop several times, disconnect the cars battery, connected a charger for higher voltage but with no luck...
I have used the cable before on my car with success, but now when it finally was time to dynotune, something obviously went wrong...
I bought the cable new some months back.

I also installed Evoscan and ecuflash on another laptop, but could still not connect to my Evo 8. I also tried to connect to my wifes VW Touran 2004 obd2, but can not connect.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Try loading evoscan v2.7. I was having all kinds of trouble with v2.9 for some reason.

 

Progress!
I spoke with Hamish (Evoscan), and he told me to ship the cable back to him and so I have done. While I spoke with Hamish some days later to ask him to ship me a new cable while mine was in transit because I had the car on the dyno, I told him that I never got my OP 2.0 to connect to my car either. He logged onto my computer from the other side of the world and checked some things and said that mine cable looked fine. He suggested to bench test my ecu. So today I built a harness and powered up the ecu and OP 2.0 cable and got online immediately both with Evoscan and Ecuflash
So the problem is in my harness somewhere between the obd2 port/flash connector and the ecu. Have not had time to rule out which cable yet, but I am very happy and thankful to Hamish for the excellent support and service he have given me, even when I am located at the other side of the globe (Norway). I have called him multiple times and he have always taken the time to speak and help me
You cant go wrong dealing with that guy
Thanks
