Cant open Com1. The system cannot find the file specified?

[308mate]

Hi All,

my first post. I'm just using EFI live & laptop scanning for the first time,

I have a vt 5.0 engine in a HQ panel Van.

Ive selected the vt v8 (not ls1) from the available files. This is what I am getting:

55:53.527: Initialising...
55:53.528: Opening COM1 8228,8,N,1
55:53.529: Can't open Com1. The system cannot find the file specified.

55:53.707: Ready.

What type of cable are you using? Have you gone into device manager to see what com port your cable is on/using?

Go to edit,properties,comms tab and see if the max232 echo box is ticked, check out pic.

[308mate]

THE MAX232 IS TICKED. iM TRYING TO USE TUNERPRO ALSO. BUT i CANT MAKE HEADS OR TAILS OF IT. iM RUNNING SERIES 1 VT WITH A V6 CONVERSIONS BCM SIMULATOR - ONE FELLA SAID MAYBE EFILIVE DOESNT LIKE THE BCM SIMULATOR

[limited cv8r]

Are you trying to tune or scan with tunerpro? You could also try unchecking the echo box.

[308mate]

Just tyring to scan

[308mate]

I cant establish a link while using tunerpro

[limited cv8r]

For tunerpro you will probably need to look elsewhere for help, but you will need to use the correct ADX for scanning,not XDF which is used for tuning.
Maybe do a google search for BCM simulators and see if other people are having similar problems.
