check your soldering, doesnt take much too mess it up

It's all good until it goes "Bang"
I reckon its a driver issue (COM port allocation etc). If the soldering was bad the truck would stall. You can connect to the RR daughter board without it plugged into the header (replacing the Intel 28F400 chip) so it must be between the software and the RR board.

I had a similar issue when using a mates laptop that wasnt evident when using mine. All I could put it down to was my mates laptop had wireless broadband while mine doesnt. Whenever the wireless signal was lost due to hills etc if in emulation mode the car would start misbehaving & I would have to reconnect to the RR to get going again. I cant remember for sure but I reckon I had to restart the computer to get it to recognise the RR when this happened.

I just did as limited suggested.
Re-soldered the terminals/pins.
Now I can connect no problem...but haven't run the car yet because it won't start.
When I connect the scanner and attempt to connect to the PCM it says autocal only and doesn't recognise what PCM is there. My fuel pump is not priming either?????

YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T
MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE
DUCT TAPE.
IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

Basically....now it's like there's no PCM in the car????

Fixed....again...Lol!
I had broken one of the little pads the header solders onto.
I knew about it the other day but thought I'd bridged the gap with solder.

Lol! and back to my disappearing com port issues.
I really don't mind having to do all this work to get this happening because this is how we learn things.
What I am 'disappointed' in is there were no instructions whatsoever with this 'guts kit'.
And...it's not like it's a 50% saving....it's still $500!
Honestly, I would have bought a complete unit except I was under the impression Craig was having trouble getting LS1 PCM's.
Live and learn I guess.

Your doing great Howard. You did the hardest bit of the install and got it all working but had a software problem. Solving the software problem and resoldering you caused a hardware problem and undid all of your good work.
Atleast your back on track now.
I had similar issues with mine and took me quite a while to get the RR working and connecting etc. Keep at it!
Bluetooth I gave up on but maybe I will have another go at it.
Perhaps a nice clean install of windows is in order and start from scratch. Wipe all of those drivers etc out?

Don't really want to format this PC Jez....I have a spare 'old' laptop. I might try it on that just to see if that eliminates the issue.
Almost seems as if...as I stab the throttle...it seems to have a hard time changing cells quickly and trips out. Perhaps some sort of timing/delay issue with the software???
It worked for half the trip to work this morning.

Howard, are you running Vista on the laptop?
Rev it up, Drop the clutch, See what happens?
