ECUTalk setup

[fastenuf]

I have just acquired the ECUTalk USB cable and software. I am unable to connect to either of 2 ECU's that I have, though the voltages at the right places on both the USB and ECU end are correct. I have been in touch with Peter (ECUTalk, very helpful) but we're at a bit of a dead end. Anyone have any experience connecting to a '94 Q45T? Any tricks or advice to getting the comm right ? (we have confirmed that the USB and serial drivers are OK). Thanks.

My ECUTalk worked without any problems on my 1991 Q45a. Have you ever had a real Consult hooked up to your car? I know other members have had bad Consult diagnostic ports in their cars. Maybe try the cable on another car if you can and see what happens?

I would suspect your consult connector is the issue as well. I have used multiple consult adapters to connect to my car and use them on the bench for the ECU's I mod as well. I previously owned a 94 Q45a that I could not get to connect with any ECU with a couple different adapters. I also have one of the ECUTalk Consult LCD Display units wired up full time on my Turbo Q and it always works fine.

Check each wire on your consult connector for continuity to the ECU.

Nice to see you around Shane. How have you been?

Thanks for your comments, I'll get to work on the wiring.

Good, it has been a while since I checked in hasn't it. Been busy, not much free time to play with my toys.
