k4nnon Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 Hey all, Link G4X PnP user here with a 2006 EVO 9. Wondering if anyone has experienced a similar issue. If I flash a new map and save, then perform a key cycle, sometimes the ecu does not communicate. The cooling fans will turn on and run but the fuel pump will not prime and the ecu will not connect. If I perform another key cycle the ecu will usually connect and everything is fine. Sometimes this will take two or three key cycles to work but often just once will do it. I am on the most current version of PCLink as well as Firmware. I check often to see if there any recent updates and havent seen anything yet. Has anyone else delt with this issue and is there a fix for it? Thanks for any info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do get a random ECU "link not responding correctly" error code for no reason though, unless it happens on key cycle and when the cue isnt communicating. Makes sense, maybe ill contact tech and see if there has been any recent fixes. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koracing Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 Do you have the laptop connected to the link when you key on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent tried disconnecting the usb between cycles. Iv noticed this randomly when the laptop isnt plugged in though also. like if i get gas,, come back and key on sometimes nothing until a key cycle has gone through..

DerekAE86 Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 It might be annoying - but it'll be a good test: turn off auto connect in the PCLink software. One of the "not booting" issue seems to be related to the PCLink software being in "Searching for ECU" mode. So if you don't have auto connect turned on and manually connect (F3) to the ECU every time it should rule that out if it keeps happening or stops completely.

k4nnon Posted April 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 Hey thanks for the input, Thats a good thought ill give that a try and see if it seems better. if it is, i dont mind a manual connection each time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
