evoscan question

[stevieITR]

just bought the evoscan software and lead.

on the lead at the OBD11 end there is a single wire sticking out, were does that go to? is it earth?

 

[6.5ghost]

think it's used for flashing the ECU. can someone correct me

 

[RsvRob]

what cable? 2.0 or 1.3?

 

[stevieITR]

1.3

You meaning on the car? im plugging my lead into the socket under the steering wheel were you would connect pin 1 and 4 to check for codes.

when i plug my lead into evo the car will rev freely no probs attol but when disconnect it will rev once then bounce at the 2k rpm, any ideas some1?

i cant get the evoscan to work tho, im kinda stuck now. any1 got an idiots guide to using evoscan :blush:

its an evo IV i have incase that makes a difference.

thanks guys

 

[RsvRob]

are you running a 5 or 6 ecu?
what version of evoscan?
would have been better with a 2.0 cable

 

[stevieITR]

no its a IV ecu, i know i cant flash it but i dont wanna do that, just data logging.

im using evoscan 2.8

 

[RsvRob]

wipe that off and get 2.7

It has less bugs in it ... lol

Still not sure if 1.3 cable will work!!!!!

ok thanks ill do that. so what is the single wire for then next to the plug?

 

[RsvRob]

Is this a wire in the car or from the cable?

 

[stevieITR]

heres the lead i have, i got it from someone who was selling it along with the evoscan registration transfered to my name, i was using it on his 1995 FTO

 

[stevieITR]

he was using it on his 1995 FTO i meant to say

 

[RsvRob]

That should be a reflash connector. For reading/writing to the ecu. No use to you fella.

when i plug my lead into evo the car will rev freely no probs attol but when disconnect it will rev once then bounce at the 2k rpm, any ideas some1?

As for this issue. Do you mean that it won't rev past 2k when you open throttle or it does this on its own?

 

[stevieITR]

ok but the main black connector is ok tho yes?

i hav an issue with my evo with it not revving past 2k rpm, however wen i plug in the leed it will rev no problem, then wen disconnect the lead and start car up again it will rev first time all the way then not past 2k again, so wot is it thats changing wen i plug in the connector?

 

[RsvRob]

Main connector is fine yes.

I'll get back to you on the rev issue

 

[stevieITR]

[RsvRob]
