I got Ie 6 with service pack 1 and that pretty much fixed it. But I wont be using that old thing for long, ive got a different usb to serial adapter in the mail for my netbook

thanks for the help!

Hey Everyone I picked up an old windows 98 laptop from a friend. Problem is tuner pro RT doesn't run correctly on this windows 98 setup. The problems are in the menus and graphical interface. Basically, looking at the virtual dash just display symbols for the text. The tool bar at the top is blank, ...

Ahh damn. I started having doubts about that adapter when it had no voltage on its power pins. Oh well, yesterday my friend gave me his old laptop from 1998. Ive almost got it ready for datalogging. Optical drive was bad and it had no network card so i had to get the hard drive out and slave it to m...

I got a new laptop, er netbook actually and of course no serial ports. I have a usb to serial converter with the prolific chipset and can't get the datalogging to connect. The interface cable works fine with my other laptop that has a serial port. The converter is sitting on com port 1.

Any ideas?

Yeah Tuner Pro is pretty easy to figure out whats going on, especially if you are very computer literate like yourself and you have an decent understanding of engines. What is all in that systemax kit? If its a head/cam package, you've got more work than just adjusting the flow rating constant to do...

My answer may not help much but I thought i would at least try! 13.5 a/f ratio at WOT? Have you tried running the vehicle richer? Maybe you need larger fuel injectors, or your current fuel injectors need to be cleaned. You could also try raising your fuel pressure a little just to test that idea out...

When data logging you need the correct ADS file, the $D0 file you are talking about is usually an XDF file, which Tuner pro uses as a "map" to figure out where things are at in the BIN file. I had the same problem as you when datalogging, i would get tons of error packets. I fixed this by ...

You have 80#/hr injections with that big block throttle body. You have the big block chip on the computer correct? I wouldnt run that motor with the chip for the big block since thats a good part of your problem. If i were you id put your stock 350 computer back on and tone down the fuel pessure a f...

Will do. Ill see if i can get something going before next semester starts on the 17th of jan. I should have my chip programming complete so then the guide will be a full walk through.

and XDF file is like a map to a chips BIN file... Like if you just pop your stock chip into your programmer to read it, it will create a bin file on your computer. But the bin file (binary) doesnt really have any meaning to it. Your computer needs to know what all of these 1s and 0s actually is tryi...

I was thinking about writting a guide today about this datalogging/chip burning. Actually im compling a big list of how to's for working with chevy TBI and cars in general. Theres a lot of info out there but all of the how tos always forget to include the small details. so if youre a newbie at somet...

Use one of the many linux distributions for a while, youll love microsoft believe me! (maybe you know what im talking about!)Mac OS x isnt any better... But really they all work good, they just like to break sometimes haha.. Oh speaking windows telling you if your hard disk is going bad, this is pos...

Yep thats what the problem was! I looked all over hell for a new ads file last night before i posted but i couldn't find any other one. I did some searching on thirdgen.org and found another one on moates' ftp server works. 0D A217 Engine v1_0.zip is the file name, its the first file in the data str...

this thread is a bit old but i think both you guys have a 160 buad ECM. You should upgrade to a 8625 ecm, it has a 8192 baud output for data logging, so it should be much more responsive. If you look on thirdgen.org you will see a lot of guys upgrading to the 8625 ecms. It requires a bit of wiring w...

Im having the same problem, im getting about 2 error packets a second. I thought it was noise from my MSD unit so decided to power my cable with the laptops serial port instead of the car's battery. Still same problem. Could it be the ADS file im using? If it wasnt right wouldnt it cause checksum er...
