Well guys Im hoping someone here can help me , I have the tactrix 1.3U cable and im trying to flash a 2002 usdm wrx impreza heres the specs of the setup
windows 7 ultimate os
tactrix 1.3U (flashed my evo 8 perfectly on 1.42 same laptop same cable before I sold the evo)
ecuflash 1.42 (also have tried 1.3 and beta 1.43 ver.)
Car is bone stock No locked ecu has never ever been modded til now..
Heres what Ive tried , Connected the 2 green connectors on the driver side and also verifed the passenger side green connectors where hooked together , flash block in and I get 02_densobootloader cmd 5 times ,kernel get then interface closed twice ..Car will connect and log with romraider/evoscan(subiescan)..flash block removed and same deal same message and still wont connect
The car does go into test mode with the connectors hooked cel flashes and fan cycles Ive tried timing it every which way as far as timing the connect and key and nothing ,
Even went as far as to completely remove ecuflash and romraider then reinstall it 5 times including deleting every single trace of it each time , drivers install fine and Ive tried running it in vista compatibility mode,windows xp sp2 and 3 still get the same message and I installed and ran romraider and ecuflash everytime as an administrator also removed java and put on the newest version still no go..
just to make sure it wasnt a laptop issue and because i was bored today I installed ecuflash 1.42 on my sisters new acer laptop , 2 day old computer running vista new java still the same message as on mine .. checked the pins on the cable and verified they where correct for the subaru obd2 port , also checked the cars obd2 port everythings as it should be ..
Im almost convinced the cable is a pos after posting on other sites and coming up empty with ideas..
So I called tunertools.com today and spoke with Lloyd who originally sold it to me and asked what I need to do for a next step he suggested linking him to a dedicated thread and seeing what others thought , any ideas guys will be much appreciated as I need to flash before I start the car since im now running 850cc injectors and a hybrid 2.5L engine along with tgv deletes,gt40R etc..I dont wanna wash the cylinders down and make the rings not seat.
