Help with buying Tactrix & Evo Scan

For the past couple of months I have been experiencing a some issues where when I am at low RPM light load scenarios (cruising 20-50 mph) I experience random fuel cuts and the car bucks. Its quite uncomfortable and probably very bad for my drivetrain components.

The garage I usually bring the car to is currently filled for the next couple of weeks but the car is my DD and it seems that the issue continues to get more severe as time goes on.

The AFRs are all over the place when cruising and lightly letting off the throttle makes the car go pretty rich (10-12).

Where I need help here first is what parts do I buy off of tactrix and evoscan so I can have logs and make the changes I need in order to fix this issue?

Thanks in advance!

You need the Tactrix Openport 2.0 (can be bought off tactrix's website) and then EvoScan is like a $25 license fee. You pay $25 and then you can download the software.

Not to log. If you want to be able to modify your rom (tune) at all then you need it. I suggest getting it.

Happy to help. There are a ton of guides on setting everything up and what the "essentials" are when logging. The software is very user friendly too (EvoScan).

I was going to post a new thread, but since this is already here, I hope OP don't mind me posting here since it is the same thing.
I ordered my evoscan on June 28 and just got it today. I'm looking at it thinking...now what do I do.

I bought the 90 degree cable and now need to figure out how to connect it. Lol
I'm tired from work and am starting to get a brain cramp thinking about how to connect this.
Guess I'll look under my dash later to find the matching plug to this 1 wire adaptor (power source?)

Thanks guys
This cable is super long. I'm thinking about tucking the wire along the center console and storing the cable in arm rest as its new home. Is there a better setup to install this?

It looks like you have the extension. My cable is the perfect length to put the laptop comfortably in the passenger seat.

mine runs along the inside of the dash and goes into the glove box, along with my wideband cable. Between those and my iPod, my glove box looks like a rat's nest.

I got the 90 degree connector so I can leave it plugged in permanently and not have to worry about it hitting my leg.
