I have been trying to contact someone to help me fix this for 2 weeks and no dice!
already uninstalled and re-installed evoscan and i have ecuflash installed so the
cable drivers are installed. running vista and i can read the ecu maps so i am
pretty sure the cable is good. Any ideas??? i am getting the "initialization timed out. turn car off/on and try again" message. sorry picture sucks.
does anyone know how to do a screen shot that shows up in your post and is NOT a thumbnail or a link???

 

This usually happens when people have wideband checked but they dont have a wideband. It does what your explaining. Check that out

 

But I do have a wideband.

 

there goes that thought. Whats the baudrate set to?

 

do you have the correct wideband selected and do you have your wideband hooked up to your laptop?

 

I haven't been able to log so I haven't even had it plugged in.
so no its not plugged in and yes I have the correct wideband selected in the
wideband logging menu.

 

1953 i think it was

 

hmm set it to 15625. and give that a try

 

I bought the car used and the rom has been modifed by previous owner and locked.
which i unlocked using the ecuunlocker and found the info in the rom scrambled.
but I will try that baud rate. Thanks

 

if you have the wideband selected to log you have to have the wideband plugged into your laptop, lol.....

you cant log something that isnt there....

 

YOU DA MAN!!! I am not quite shure what baud rate is but changing it to 15625 works and evoscan is now logging. Thank you so much for your help!!

 

???????
dude, i meant it isnt logging AT ALL, nothing. What would be the point of having the uego plugged in if the logging software isnt working at all?
if you dont have any wideband what do you select when you log???

 

iirc until you peck the wideband button it isn't a problem.

btw, is there a neat trick to get back to all defaults? I've managed to do something now and it has caused my car to react to the logger.

 

ohhh ok i thought you had the box selected to log your wideband but it wasnt plugged in..haha...
