almostinvincible119 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 How do I tell if the previous owner of the car had married an AP to my car? I don't have access to an accessport, and I'm having problems flashing my ECU and I think that might be the problem (possibly...hopefully not) I posted a topic earlier, but got no help. For the love of sand, someone give me some advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1anatic Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 What problems are you having when trying to flash your car ? Are you flashing it correctly ? Have you connected the green harness ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almostinvincible119 Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 Thanks f1 for responding. I have done everything by the book! In many different combonations. Tried with Vista, now Im on XP, tried with different versions on ECUFlash. Cant get ECUFlash to read my ECU first off, then when trying to flash I get a message saying "unable to connect to vehicle interface" I've been working on this for 2 nights solid. I bought my cable from Infamous, as well as the tune so I'm assuming that nothing would be wrong with either of the two. Thanks again for responding.

fx4me Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I had an issue similar to this, albeit with a Cobb AP, turned out the OBDII harness was bad. They sent a new one and it worked perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almostinvincible119 Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 Well the cable isn't bad as it does connect to the ECU. I can datalog, and I have with my stock map. But unfortunately I cant flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goneskiian Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Have you connected the green harness? You didn't answer this question. So, are you connecting the green test harness in the passenger footwell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almostinvincible119 Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 Oh, sorry. Yeah, I'm following instructions to a "t" and I've tried numerous different ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goneskiian Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Sounds like you need to contact COBB. You may need to send both your ECU and AP to them. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almostinvincible119 Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 I don't have an accessport, and truthfully I don't think the previous owner had an accessport anyway. It had all 3 cats and the hogzaust mod. I may be wrong, but I would like to know how to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rock2534 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 What year is your car? When I started doing mine, there wasn't a proper definition for my car in the base files that come with ecuflash, someone made me a definition. I was able to read my ecu, but since there was no definition, I couldn't save it. Can't you get that far at least? Did you try and read/save your stock map before trying to flash the new map on? If you can read the map but get an error saying it is undefined, then you will need a new definition. Mine is an 07 by the way, I thought it was weird that there wasn't a def for my car, but I am finding there are some quirky nuances with going the opensource route.

wpmarky Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 post some logs that you were able to take. if the logs look like anything more than stock targets, I would assume there is a Cobb married to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbrjason Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Looks like the shitty stock tune to me.. Low boost, high rpm knocking and a horrible timing curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithk831 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Looks like the shitty stock tune to me.. Low boost, high rpm knocking and a horrible timing curve. Agreed. Knock and IAM of .5 is probably because he's running Stg2 hardware on a stock tune. See if someone locally has a Tactrix cable and see if that works.

almostinvincible119 Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 Unforunately, I'm in NW Florida and noone around here drives Subis, Evos, or Audis. So the tactrix cable is hard to come by, I have a guy willing to let me borrow his for a month so I can tune, but I won't be able to get ahold of it until the middle of feb or march. Its getting tuned no matter what, its just been a bitch and a half to do it. Not near as easy as some make it seem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithk831 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Tactrix cables are highly sought after (although not hard to find right now). You could buy one new, and sell it for like $20 less easily when you're done. Edit- P.S. Go Gators! (I'm from South Florida) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eminehart Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Can you post the log of what goes on in ecuflash when you try to flash the car. I can tell if the ecu is locked by the log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm from South Florida) I actually thought about that, but I'm really not into paying 200+ for a cable that I will use for a month and then end up selling for a cut...I would rather keep it. I've ordered the Knockoff Tactrix 1.3, hopefully it works...if not, I might have to drop coin just so the SOB will work. I'm tired of effin with it. P.S.- Get back with me this time next year and let me know how that pro-style offense works out for y'all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
