Openport problem.

Are U using an Openport cable and Logworks2?
U have to activate the driver for your cable if that is the case.
You will find it under LOGWORKS2 map and the file is called OP13VDev wich is a virtual Openport 1.3 device. This file opens up your connection to your ECU.
Make sure u follow the description on your screen so that u choose mitsubishi MUT, and not Subaru.

Hope it works!

sorry about that!

Sorry that I missed out that U had WBO2 problems....where a bit to quick with my earlier reply. I always use an openport cable combined with my Innovate WBO2. And it works fine every time.

I had this same problem a while back with my LC-1 and can't remember for the life of me if I ever got it working...I think I just moved on to evoscan/ecuflash and calibrated it on the road like I usually do.

Chris it's alive again!!! I haz mah O2 werkin! haha. I had the power hooked into the ignition thats why it kept loose calibration cuz it shuts off during starting, now its hooked to a source that stays on during starting. I should really hake a how to I've had my interior apart about 5 times. the laptop can read the cable too!

you probly have windows vista then, the intsallation cd it came with didn't have driver for vista but it tried to install anyways, didn't work. I had to go online and download the vista drivers from the cable manufacturer's website.

Uninstall the drivers and go online to download the correct version pretty much.

Also don't use the radio ignition for a power source it shuts off everytime you start your car and you loose calibration.

there is a little conflict between evoscan or ecuedit and the logworks driver.

you may have to reinsert (several times) the cable for your lc-1 to your laptop.
I find that is the only way I can get the cable/laptop to find logworks.
