not sure on PC connection

Post by boostedmini »

Hi All,

need a bit of help, i am not sure if the pc is communicating with the MJ unit or not, when i open the program and connect up to MJ unit and obtain info from unit there is not map saved and then when i save one to it by pressing the chip type button and then go back to get that data the settings are blank again.

the car stars with the unit disconnected and runs ok but rough (due to 10 degrees)

i have read the post below on no connection to PC but i do not understand the bits on handshaking and the S and the C where do i do this, am i opening the right program ???

how can i tell if the MJ unit is actually talking to the PC or not??

thanks Grant

Hi Grant,

At the bottom of the window of the software, do you see a message like 'timeout' or 'could not open port'?

First things to check:

- make sure you have the right port selected. Look under 'tools/options'
- Make sure the MJLJ has power

Report back with your findings,
