Dataloging Problems
 

Ok so i need sme help here. My p28 ecu was socketed and had a dataloging cable when i got it. i plugged in my ostrich and it works great. when i try to datalog i got nothing. So today i opened it up and looked inside. i found J12 not cut so i cut it. Now i am able to datalog for about 15-20 seconds. then the program freezes and thats it. i have tried ecu controll and freelog. freelog does not work at all. i didnt install the datalog cable so i dont know if it is done right. i am guessing that it is since the socketing was done corectly. i have no idea what cable it is and what serial to usb converter it is. im thinking i may need to get a different cable. i am using the standard nokia usb drivers. anypne have any ideas?

I tried a couple of cheap ebay, and radio shack cables, none of which I could get to work, I just bought the serial cable from xenocron and it works great, i love it. I dont know why it would work then freeze after 20 seconds, thats fucked up. Ive been using ecucontrol, cut j12, with no problems.

well im wondering if it is my cable since it hase some kind of little circuit board inline on it before it conect to the ecu. i didnt do the mod on the ecu i got it this way so i do not know if it is done right. i think i will just get the usb one from xenocron and be done with it. i have j12 cut and the cable looks ok. however since i didnt do it i dont know if it is right or not. thnx for the help. if anyone else has any ideas i would love to hear them...

j12 needs to be cut to use ecu control?

does anyone know if Uberdata's datalogging works now?

if you read myrevious post it says that i do have j12 cut and it still does not work. thats why i am posting and trying to figure this out. i know my car is running very rich and would like to tune it up a bit. however i cant do this if i cant see what it is doing. so thats why i am here and trying to get it figured out...

My Radio shack data cables had a ttl to usb convertor on it and I still could not get it to work no matter what driver I used.
