I have a 02 wrx and I am having trouble reading the ecu, this is what I get...

the engine is currently out of the car if that makes any difference. I have the cable to the under-hood fuse box hooked up to the battery so the car has power, along with a battery charger hooked up to ensure optimal battery strength. Also the car has a dastek piggy back ecu, I don't know if this would make a difference or not? I connected the green connectors and installed the flash block... any clues to why this isnt working? Thanks.

Are you hitting OK right after turning the key to the ON position? Before the engine goes intotest mode - fans cycling and sounds like fuel pump also.

Yeah I'm hitting it right when I turn the key on... I don't have the engine in the car(no compression in two cylinders) or any of the fans, sesnors, etc hooked up though. I just have the battery hooked up, I did notice the fuel pump is not cycling the way I have it now so I am wondering that if the car were put together it would make a difference? ( I haven't noticed any blown fuses). I emailed Tactrix and they said it may have something to do with the piggyback ecu too... I think I may just wait till I get a motor back in it, then get it dyno-tuned without the piggy back because I am thinking of getting a 2.5 liter short block. Thanks though!
