not another 1 I hear every1 saying :rofl:

 

just cant get the bloody thing working

 

activated it ok

 

got all the drivers installed windowas wizard did it its self downloaded the 1 off blatz.

 

connected plug to the grey 1 by bonnet release in drivers footwell, connected to laptop via usb

 

started up datascan clicked on connect said invalid port

so read previous threads on how to change ports an could find what port so just tried 1 - 9 an 3 was the only 1 that didnt give a invalid port box.

 

so tried 3 an wont connect :headvswal

 

only data reply, log analyser, an nds activation boxs are highlighted(already activated)

 

any help aprecited guys

 

cheers

Have you followed Danny's advice from DTA on one of the posts to check which port it's using?? As this happened to me as well only port 3 was coming up ok but nothing and I plugged the cable on it's own into the laptop and wizard installed it then I used Dannys advice to check which port and it came up as number 7. HTH

Assuming you're running Windows XP, have a look at control panel -> system -> hardware tab -> device manager -> ports> There it should be mentioned which com port is linked to your USB port.

 

Here is Dannys advice.

Are you getting the ECU code coming up (see the thread I started - second attachment) or do you still get an invalid port message.

 

I read on the Blazt site that a bad battery can cause connect problems, said something about trying main beam to see if it helps the charging circuits and hence the connection?.

 

I've got different problems with mine.

 

Gaz

Had you the Ignition switched on? Also, i think the setting needed in the port setting dialog from the device manage are :-

 

Speed 9600baud, 8bit, No parity, 1 stop bit, software handshaking (Xon/Xoff)

 

 

May also be a good idea to check there is actually power to the cars Consult port. You can check by using a multimeter...

 

12v Red wire - pin. 7 (on its own far top left hand side of connector)

Gnd Green Wire - Pin 8 (1st pin on bottom right hand corner)

 

Sometimes the Consult fuse can blow (cant remember which one in the fuse box though)

looked at this bud when I click on device manager theres no ports option :headvswal

no bud ecu code doesnt come up :confused:

There should be if you have XP its a tap in the top.

right think i've sussed it found the port settings will check in the morn

 

cheers for the help

Make sure the datascan lead is plugged in to your usb port before checking and it will come up with something bridge IIRC

yeah sussed that bud lol

now when checking the port no. in the drop down tab they say

 

com3-com17 in use :confused:

which should I click on then I put the same port no. in datascan settings :confused:

im getting different problems, all the buttons are lit, when i click on DASH i get my RPM and SPEED they work fine.. but when i click on DATA DISPLAY i get nothing! any idea on this one?!

thanks to every 1 for the help was the port no. got it sorted today

 

just a few questions mph dont match the car about 40mph out tried changing the tyre size to 265/35/18 but didnt change still about 40mph out

 

how do I save a screen shot to post up???

 

 

on self diag it comes up with det sensor > car started 0 times withthis fault

does that mean i have the fault or not???

 

does anyone actually know how to use the datascan fully??

can some one write a how to??

 

cheers everyone

Until we can get some parameters for the car when new we wont know what settings/readings we are supposed to get.

Only a matter of time i suppose until someone with a healthy Z can post up a screen shot of what is a 'good' datascan result lol

If you have a KPH -> MPH speed convertor on your clocks, put the Speed gauge in KPH in datascan and it will read the correct MPH speed (even although it says KPH, thats the problem with Speed convertors - they also affect PAS and Hicas).

 

Yep, sounds like Det sensor fault, Car will be in safety mode. Take her for a drive, and withtout turning ignition off, try it again.

I will try and put up some parameters shortly

cheers bud yeah clocks in mph will try that tomorrow

 

I already know I have det senseor fault ebc overrides it :D

was just that self diag said car started 0 times with the fault

 

any1 going to do a write up on this?

 

cheers

I will try and put up some parameters shortly

 

 

Cheers mate

 

Just interested on what some of the guages should read

It will still retard your timing unfortunatly, affecting performance especially off-boost.

can this be overcome with the datascan :confused:

or will the resistor mod sort that

 

cheers

Resistor mod, or replace Det sensor/harness. Check connectors first.

Resistor mod is a dodgy mod to do, it will fully advance the timing by another 5 degrees because it will not detect engine knock. Best thing if you want to keep the car is to fix it properly with the new knock sensor and loom.

its code 34 so its not detecting knock bud not gonna take the engine out just for this lol

 

cheers for the advice though

I will try and put up some parameters shortly

David, that would fantastic if you could post some "ideal" parameters...:bow:
