Consult Problem Rs-4 S

[Oppression]

I've been messing with my consult on and off for ages now but have never got it to work.

I have a S2 RS-4 S and am trying to use one of those cheap Chinese consult adapters.

I am pretty sure my ECU is stock, my consult port has a yellow Tx and a brown/yellow Rx wire, no clock wire and a black ground. I havent seen those particular colours on any of the pinout diagrams but I assume doesn't matter, and I have read Pete's posts before that no clock on the RS-4 S is normal same as the R34 Gtt.

I have so far tried ECUtalk windows XP and 7 laptops, a Windows CE mobile device. As well as writing my own python program in Linux that works similar to Hyper Terminal. I have used 2 different Serial - USB converters one of which is FTDI based. No luck on anything so far.

When I use the terminal program it works fine transmitting to itself and other systems so the Serial comms side is fine, when I turn the key on the Stagea to ON I receive a 0x0 hex character, but no initiation string I have used so far has yielded any results. While sending random hex chars to the consult port (while the Stagea isn't running) sometimes returns different hex characters so I am assuming the consult adapter I am using is working.

I was hoping Pete or one of the other more experienced members could give me an idea on what the problem could be, I'm running out of ideas.

Edit just reread what you had typed

I use a blatz cable and Nissan data scan and I've never had a problem.
