lil_z_33 Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 i got a tactrix cable...that driver did not work for me...got the driver from tactrix website, rom raider downloaded...going to plug it in at some point today and see what I find... is the spark blowing out a possibility? I do not remember what plugs I am running, but they are colder than stock... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSpeed Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 It is possible spark is blowing out, I've seen that, it has to do more with your plug gap than with your type of plug though... It doesn't seem to correlate with what you're seeing though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmx045 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 So lets review. You have a $170 tactrix 2.0 cable. You installed the 2.0 drivers, you installed ecuflash but clicked cancel before openport install. In order to use ecuflash you need to connect your green connectors which are either above your brake pedal or under the passenger floor mat near the glove box. Romraider does not require this though. Check your obd port and the wires going to it, verify none have pulled out. Ensure you have a strong car battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil_z_33 Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 no i did not hit cancel before the openport 2.0 install, I installed it... all I am trying to do is log...I found only one step by step instructions from someone who had the same issue as me...I am yet to try and connect to the vehicle again...looks like someone needs to detail step by step on how to do this...all the instructions are very vague...

bmx045 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 no i did not hit cancel before the openport 2.0 install, I installed it... all I am trying to do is log...I found only one step by step instructions from someone who had the same issue as me...I am yet to try and connect to the vehicle again...looks like someone needs to detail step by step on how to do this...all the instructions are very vague... no. openport 2.0 drivers is not what ecuflash wants to install. the 2.0 drivers are separate, you're suppose to install those, but not the one's with ecuflash....halfway through ecuflash installation it will prompt you to click Next for openport drivers...these are older drivers that you should not install. so hit Cancel.

bmx045 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 What I can say is, I had the tactrix 2.0 drivers installed and was using romraider successfully, I then installed ecuflash incl its openport drivers. and nothing connected from there on out. So I redid everything minus ecuflash openport and it works flawlessly. When using the vag-com for other cars, I installed ecuflash with its openport and it worked simply with that, no other drivers needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil_z_33 Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 ok...where do I find these new drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil_z_33 Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 well I tried it with just the tactrix drivers and romraider and didn't even install ecuflash...that did not work...I am yet to try this...will do so in an hour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx045 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 so you're probably experiencing what I have. install ecuflash and cancel when it prompts for openport install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil_z_33 Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 so if i delete ecuflash...it will delete openport 2.0 as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx045 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 no. Though, I'd uninstall both of those and start by installing the 2.0 drivers, then ecuflash(and cancelling prompted openport install there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
