Cant Connect To Consult Port And Suffering Surging Issue, In My 260rs

[JAP-JET]

Hey all having a few issues with my new autech stagea and i bought a consult cable and put the software on my laptop but it wont connect to the comm port.

Also had another diagnostic tool on the car at my local performance shop which wouldnt read it either.

I dont know if anyone else has had this problem but as im just cruising the car surges like i am tapping the throttle on and off. Have change the coil packs, cleaned the afm's put a new fuel filter on but nothing seems to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

well start by checking that you have a standard computer, most aftermarket don'y support consult. Its under the kick panel on the passenger side

yeah its a stock one, no daughter board evident

Mine's just started doing the same, i think mine is AFM though. Well im hoping as cant consult with the PFC.

Dont think the consult will give you much information regarding your problem that you can't get from a manual ECU diagnostic, give that a try. Work through the usual suspects like, fuel pump & regulator, spark plugs, TPS, O2 sensor etc

yeah its going to TM Autosports this week, and if its AFM's install a Vi-Pec Ecu to get rid of them.

Thought maybe the consult would show any error codes and if afm's and tps are reading properly

What "diagnostic tool" did the workshop try and use? The reason I ask, is because I went through this with my pulsar recently, and after much arguing with the cable seller, along with repeated returns being tested by him as fully operational, I bought one off the ECUTalk guys (NewKleer on here and pulsar.org) I had no further issues.

Just be aware that all consult cables are not created equal.

Yeah, it will, but you can get same information by doing it manually.

just do a continuity check between the wires on the consult port and the pins at the ECU (forget the check one, check there is 12v when car is on at 12v ign one, gnd to gnd, and the remaining 3 go to ecu).
