RussellDaniel- That would be really helpful, but that's a little far of a drive. Do you think we could possibly meet around halfway? I could buy you lunch and give a little gas money.

 

Aw man, I was actually going to make a trip to Savannah GA to visit some buddies at their school this week. If I went I would have definitely helped you out. Good luck man.

 

Its not too bad of a drive its like 2 hours right. I know we get guys that come down on buses from Augusta all the time I'll let you know for sure. I have to drive about 3 hours at the end of the week to go install by double pumper a spoolin up kit and get a little tweak to my tune.

 

What problems were you seeing with your car? Can you post a complete copy of your log window output?

We've had a lot of users install and successfully use 1.44 so I don't think it's fair to say "most users are seeing". We are aware of a problem where the mem model isn't displaying under the ROM info section, and can patching isn't showing up but we'll have a fix out for those two issues shortly.

If you're having problems other than those it could be that our new definitions are missing something custom you had in your rommetadata folder. When you install a new version of EcuFlash it will back up old rommetadata folders in a folder called backup001 (or another number if you've installed multiple versions). If you accepted the default location values during install you should have a folder like:

C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenECU\EcuFlash\backup001

If you select "options" and then navigate to "directories->metadata directory" you can set that to value point to your old definitions instead of the default directory with the latest definitions we have. That will likely clear up most problems people are having.

If anyone is seeing other problems, please post them here or contact us at support at tactrix.com.

RussellDaniel- Ok man. Just let me know if it can be worked out. I would sincerely appreciate it.

I looked up that file and it is present on my computer. And when I go to Metadata Directory, it says it looks in a file named rommetadata. I don't understand what you said after that though. I'm usually good with computers, but EcuFlash really confuses me. If you can help point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated.

 

I'm not having a problem with xml files as I already knew to completely replace them with my previous rommetadata file. When I connected to my car it never gave me the option to flash/read/compare my rom.

I like to use graphs as much as I can but the new version does not work very well so reverting back to 1.42 is my solution.

 

Come on guys I need some help here. I'm not asking too much, just hook up my cable to make sure it's not the problem. If I happen to mess up something on your car in the process, I promise to pay for the repair.

 

rommetadata is the parent directory that contains all of the definition files. Based on what you said above, you're pointing to the right place.

Are you using a 1.3u cable purchased from evoscan? Do they offer any support to help you confirm the unit is working properly?

You mentioned that the previous owner messed with a bunch of wiring. What sort of wiring was tampered with? Under the hood or under the dash?

 

MikeyPSF- I am using the 1.3u cable from evoscan. I haven't gone to them yet to see if it is defective or not. There were some tampered wires underneath the dash and some wires added, both of witch I'm not 100% sure what he wired them for. I looked underneath once and barely touched the power wire for the AEM UEGO he added and it fell out of the butt splice he did. I had to fix that plus another wire for the EUGO. So I have a hunch that there might be other wiring altercations he did poorly or incorrectly. I just haven't had much spare time during daylight to fully investigate it. I work from 7:30-5 Monday through Saturday, so I don't have too much spare time.
