Re: Megatune causing resets

No, the laptop and the car are running without any plugs. I've started pulling all the unnecessary wires hoping to find some combination that works. Is it possible that I created a grounding loop with the shielding for my sensors.

What I have are two bosch VR sensors, each with three wires, positive, negative and shield. I grounded the shields with my current setup; what is the optimal way to wire this?

Ooh, maybe inadequate supply cable size??? How big are the wires supplying power to the MS?

I had 2 reasonably good sized cables for power. I cut one of them thinking that maybe I could have a loop there that was causing a problem... but no luck. I'm going to keep removing wires until I find something that doesn't cause resets. I had this thing running just fine when it wasn't doing ignition and megatune was working. I know there is a solution :D

Well after another night clipping wires and pulling my hair out I finally found the culprit. It was actually the FIFO buffer in the device manager for my comm port. It was set way too high and I dropped it down all the way to the lowest setting and now it seems to be reset free. Now on to the next challenge :RTFM:
