Author Message   Eshardball Posted on Saturday, May 23, 2009 - 08:52 am:        I am trying to use ECM spy for the first time and the program can't find the port. Since I only have one port, (Jurrasic laptop) I checked to see that other applications didn't have the port seized and set them to manual. Does anyone know if ECM spy has unusual comm port requirements?   Thejuicer Posted on Saturday, May 23, 2009 - 09:54 am:        My laptop is a dinosaur as well but it works on mine although it seems a bit wonky at times, if its not finding the port you may have to re-plug in the usb cable and let your cpu find it again.   Eshardball Posted on Saturday, May 23, 2009 - 10:04 am:        I did it a couple times but I'll give it a try again. I haven't ridden my S3 in several weeks now and was looking forward to resetting the TPS and taking it out for a ride.   Tdman77 Posted on Saturday, May 23, 2009 - 11:21 am:        Make sure to have the bike on and the kill switch on also. This kicked my but till I flipped the kill switch from off to on and did the autodetect function.   Pkforbes87 Posted on Saturday, May 23, 2009 - 11:51 am:        You also need drivers installed that will make ecmspy see your usb port as a com port. The drivers can be found in the downloads section of ecmspy.com   Lowroad Posted on Saturday, May 23, 2009 - 03:03 pm:        make sure you click the little keys icon in the software. I had all kinds of hair pulling comm port errors until I figured that out.   Eshardball Posted on Sunday, May 24, 2009 - 09:10 am:        Thanks guys. I'm working on the driver thing right now.Had to get a trial version of Win Zip to unzip the driver so I could load it into the laptop.   Eshardball Posted on Sunday, May 24, 2009 - 12:01 pm:        Got ECM spy up and running. Reset TPS but have no TPS or Tach readings. IAT,AFV,enrichener are indicated. What da f*#k?   Olbolt Posted on Sunday, May 24, 2009 - 05:38 pm:        on the opening screen, there is a KEYS symbol... Click it and a drop down screen gives you a choice of closed loop mode, or open loop mode. I'm thinking you want Open Loop Mode, in any case you should get a TPS change of values when you twist the throttle. The Ignition must be on, and the Run switch must be on...You don't have to run the engine. Keep plugging away...You will master it!   Eshardball Posted on Monday, May 25, 2009 - 08:09 am:        I pulled the ignition fuse and put it back in. Everything came up. TDman77 spent over an hour on the phone with me walking me through the program and sent me his X1 race maps. What an incredible tool and an incredible bunch of friends.Thanks fellow Badwebbers
