This may or may not help, depends on the serial hardware in use in the ECU:
On MS1/2/3 (or any S9/S12x or 68K derived processor or any setup (3 wire) using software flow control) it helps immensely to set the serial driver FIFO buffers to 1 bit.
This prevents losing the data in the FIFO when switching from transmit to receive.
This should really only be an issue on meatspace 16550Aa (real) serial port hardware, but worth mentioning, and possibly trying.

Re: Redline Fuel Injection Software
Thanks for all the input, I have have tried 3 laptops one with XP/32bit, two with Windows 7 64 bit, with cable with the FTDI chipsetset to com 1 and software to com 1 no luck, I will be sending the unit in to check out the firmware, still getting this error
Thanks
Thanks

Re: Redline Fuel Injection Software
But have you checked you hardware with loop back plug???.....
Your error would seem to indicate problem is in EFI box, BUT its not conclusive until you eliminate USB/SERIAL adapter....

Re: Redline Fuel Injection Software
Dale, not sure how to do a loop back plug? I did find a tester on amazon, L-com DMA Series Slimline Serial Loopback Plug, DB9 Female, but does it require any software (BurnInTest 2.2 Pro) to test?
Thanks
Thanks

Re: Redline Fuel Injection Software
Dale I found the info and made a jumper between 2 and 3 pins, used the LoopbackTest software, can't seem to get it to work.
Thanks

Don't forget to set FIFOS to one bit if possible.
Here's more than you ever wanted to know about serial ports...

Well... Not framiliar with "Loopback test" software...glamisman wrote:Dale I found the info and made a jumper between 2 and 3 pins, used the LoopbackTest software, can't seem to get it to work.

What I do is use a "terminal" program.... on my clunky old XP machine its Hyperterm.
Set com port, use 8-n-1 (8 bit - no parity - 1 stop bit) "flow control" = none, baud rate is no important for test...
IF you have com port right and terminal program functional you should get a loop back of data with very basic loop back plug (pins 2&3 shorted only)...
Until you can get this working... You u will not have real grasp on how serial communications work...
Another option I just tried was this software (may be same as you mentioned)
http://www.freewarefiles.com/Serial-Loo ... 57042.html
Put USB/Serial converter into place, set comm port and loop back plug in place... IT works... If loop back plug in place all bars are green (good) .... Remove loop back plug all bars go red (fail) ....

Re: Redline Fuel Injection Software
After receiving the cable and latest software from Lance and some tweaking of the usb driver software that he told me to change, I was able to get the program working, thanks Lance..
