    Thanks...took your advice.
    We'll see how it goes tomorrow.

    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.

    Craig got in touch with me today and suggested removing the ribbon cable completely.
    I did this and it detected the RR and connected straight away.
    TFZ...did you remove the ribbon cable or leave it there as well as the mini USB?
    Craig suggested there may be an issue with the ribbon cables and noise.

    That seems to make the difference.
    I first tried connecting straight to the mini usb but I'd left the original connection complete...ie, ribbon still connected internally.
    This is the reply I just received from Craig.
    Well, it appears that there is enough RFI within the PCM itself (injector drivers, ignition triggers, etc) to disturb communications via pickup on that unshielded section. I’m working on another solution which will replace the interconnect and perhaps fix the issue while still using the weatherconnector. However, overall, I’ve got to say that the straight USB is how I’d have liked it to be from the start.


    I'm happy he's working it out.

    Ran it four times today with no issues at all.
    Infact....my AFR's don't seem to be going crazy like they were so maybe it was also affecting that.

    Howard, glad it's working...

    For my own education, what is the ribbon cable for...?

    The ribbon cable connects the weatherproof USB socket to the RR PCB.
    It comes with the RR.
    The silver/shielded USB cable in those pic's is the one I installed.

    I just got my RR going and I am able to flash just fine, but when I try to change things either the engine stumbles or I lock up the RR and I can't talk to it at all. R&R the USB cable doesn't do it. I lost the comm port and couldn't get it back, rebooted, no dice, finally pulled the RR PCM out (it was awfully hot from the 90F temps, running engine, and in direct sun) so maybe it overheated?

    Put it inside the car without being hooked to the car and it would work again. Not sure what is up.

    It did run on it, but so far not able to change anything real time.

    Should I try the USB cable direct to it?

    FYI, Craig now has a dedicated support person, so you should be able to get some communications with them now.

    Cheers,

    That is EXACTLY the issue I was having Tom.
    Check your PM's.
    Yes Ross...and it's making a world of difference. Communications go a LONG way.
