guess I shouldn't be ecuflashing because ....

I can't get my ecu read from the ecuflash program. Every attempt ends in some problem, misread kernel, can't read ecu, etc. Sometimes I can retry and get a little farther down the list only to fail on another item.
tried installing and reinstall ecuflash
I get a number of clicks from the car during the upload attempts, and have an ecu-plus connected, could that be an issue?

anyway, " Hi " to all the other shouldn't be doing this guys.

I sometimes feel the same way!

Hmm that sounds odd....I think MJ runs both ECU+ and flashing just not sure if he runs them at the same time or not...what is the exact error it gives?

error sending init sequence 3
error sending kernal size
no response to any know code
could not read ecu

looks to me like a poor connection that fails randomly, or is interfered with by noise.

make sure u have ur cable plugged in before you start the program.

I turn the car on,

plug in the cable to the car, both connectors

then plug into my laptop

then open ecuflash.

ECU memory read failure

Do you have a mini-battery? Insufficient power can result in bad reads/writes.

Try hooking a battery charger up while doing it.

was it reflashed previously? Perhaps Malibujack's ecuunlocker could help...

flash by Al some time ago, so I don't think that is an issue.

Power may be, the newly installed wideband has to stay hot, a few leds in gauges and a converter for the laptop, that might be the culprit.

I think I had this problem and might have your solution.
The ECU+ has a jumper on it to enable ODB2 data reading. If that is enabled in the ECU+ then tactrix cable becomes useless because the ECU+ prevents ODB2 access.

Write an email to Tom about the ECU+. I'm not sure if I remember correctly but if you can take out the ECU+ board then you'll see a jumper that has an ODB2 label, you'll have to take the jumper off of just jump one of the pins rather then two.

It's the ECU+, you either need to have the OBD2 jumped change like Roger Smith said above or remove it when flashing the car.

Just be persistant, cautious, observant, and experimental. Don't be afraid to uninstall/reinstall. Make sure car battery is charged, dont plug and unplug without ign off, and dont ever test your tune without monitoring knock live

hook up a battery charger, see if that helps.

yes he does so dealers can't erase them

go to activematrix.com and use the ecuunlocker download there
