well, i cant tell you guys any new info unfortunatly. I was only able to drive the car for about 5 minutes before it crapped out on me.
Im having some issues getting the moates to communicate with the ecu.
Things i know are working fine
1. the ecu ( i have another socketed ecu and the both go into limp mode as soon as the moates is plugged in, but when you remove it and put in regular rom chips the work fine)2. The nistune software is working3. The consult does work, with the ecus as long as the rom chips are in if the moates is in it doesnt connect since the ecu goes into limp mode)4. I can connect to the moates with nistune and upload and download .bin files to it no problem
The problem im having is it doesnt communicate to the ecu apperently, and or the ecu doesnt see it. It starts and revs but only if you accelerate gradually, if you hit it hard the car will die out (basicly the way it would behave with no rom chips).
Im begining to think the culprit here is the ribbon cable, i metered it and had two pins that had poor/no continuity so i recrimped the connectors and plugged the moates in and it tried to work for a second then it went to limp mode (the most success ive had all day). Im gonna go to the local computer supply store later today and see if i can find a replacement, if not im gonna order it from moates monday, and i guess ill go from there hopefully thats the problem. If not im at a loss.
