Simon Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Make sure you are using G1 PCLink The Com port needs to be 9 or lower. ECU wise it should support PC tuning so no issue with the firmware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charles hopkirk Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 i downloaded the g1 PCLink off this site.is ther any others? it only has 8 com ports to chose from and hasnt made a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 http://www.linkecu.com/support/downloads/pclink-download/PCLinkV25 Above is link to G1 PC Link You could also have a bad connection from the micro or a faulty serial link. ECU does need to be powered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charles hopkirk Posted September 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 i uninstalled the G1 pc link that i had then downloaded the link that you supplied tried it and no connection.went through power supplies and checked all grounds everything is there as it should be.the seial link isnt that old and in really good condition is there any way i can test the serial link and the connection to the micro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 To check the ECU trying to connect to a tuning module is one way, trying another serial link. Or you can send both in and we can have a look over it. http://www.linkecu.com/support/returns-policy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charles hopkirk Posted September 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 unfortunatly i dont have a tuning module.do you guys have one that i can hire and try?can i use osciliscope to check for communication between ecu and serial link and serial link to pc?

charles hopkirk Posted September 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 what is the per hour charge? after the minimum charge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 $150 per hour but I would be gutted if we couldn't fix it with the first hour. Where are you based as a local tuner might be kind enough to see if they can connect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
