As odd as it sounds, turn the car on, and blast the heat through the floor vents for a few min. Try it again. Dont know why, but my ecu has to be physically warm in order to flash/pull...

 

i have been having this problem for a couple months all the sudden, but i have had other guys connect with their own cable and lap top

 

- uninstall the program / drivers, etc.

- restart the pc and reinstall the program and drivers

- go drive the car around for like 10 min. get it up to temp - I know this is weird but I have had this problem and had to have the car warmed up before it would let me do anything.

If that doesnt work you can try forcing it - keep the car running then hit the read button. It should shut the car off and read the ecu. I have had to do this with flashing before.....

 

Bad cable perhaps?

- if you can try someone else's cable with your laptop and see what happens. If that works then its probably your cable. If not then try someone else's cable with your laptop and see if that works - trial and error.

 

thats what im starting to think.....and now i just rememberd with dane's computer and my cable, it didnt work, so he used his cable and it worked....must be the cable

 

that is probably your answer.........

 

well actually he was trying to just log it.....i dont have a problem with evoscan or scantech....just ecuflash

 

oh then the cable is probably fine.......make sure the connection from the white plug to the cable is good.

 

ya i checked it, nothing loose. i have uninstalled/reinstalled probably 10 times. car hot car cold, nothing lol

 

u have the white plug plugged in correct?

 

Dude, I like you. You work on your car, you race it. I've never even meet you and i know your a cool dude.

Peteypab's story is just ****ing changing all the time. Like this:

ya, it will only click in one way

 

ok - just trying to eliminate any variables. I would say you need to get someones laptop that know works and try your cable for ecuflash. The flashing cable (white plug) could be damaged because you dont use it to log.........

 

I'm sorry, but I really don't understand the point of all of this. We all own Evos and we know how capable they are. Why are people getting into a pissing contest over this stuff? Isn't the whole point of being an enthustiast to appreciate others cars for what they are - not for what they arent? Who cares if somone's build isnt going to plan or if they didnt get to do a roll race when they said they would...BFD. Unless you're Paul Walker and living your life a quarter-mile at a time, this is all really pointless and ultimately just wasted bandwidth. Please, for the sake of everyone else that doesnt want to read about it, keep it private. Thanks .

 

ya i was thinking the same thing, so i'll see who i can find
