Hi guys-
I'm running on borrowed time... The laptop I borrowed has to go back on Friday. There is not a lot I can do to fix problems if nobody else even tries the program. I thought there were more people interested in a new datalogging software than just one. I know some don't have their cars in working condition or are too busy, but I didn't need to pay Microsoft $157.68 to make the program work for me. I payed it so I could distribute it to everyone else. Thank you to the few of you that have showed an interest in supporting the project thus far, but I was hoping to help others out by investing time and money into this project. I am beginning to get worried that I made a mistake. Hopefully, after a little time, someone can try the program and get back to me to see if Mark's problem is universal. Then I can find another laptop and resume programming. (While the windows are rolled down - made that mistake once... won't do it again!) I'm more than willing to make my best attempt at facilitating the tuning process, but I need a little feedback too.

Sorry to hear Chris.
Although it will take some time to get my car in shape, when I do I will help you as much as I can with this. I work with developing IT-solutions so I should be able to do some thorol troubleshooting on different computers, different conditions etc.

hey how do I run the new .exe program?
My ComLink runs but when I try to run the program on the first post it says:
Runtime error "339":
Component "MSCOMM32.OCX" or one of its dependencies not currently registered: a file is missing or invalid.
Thanks, I'll try to get this running and working tomorrow to report to you guys
EDIT: Oh and this is on WinXP

Hi powpow-
(Got your PM but haven't had time to reply...)
I imagine some others may have this problem too (it won't be a problem when this thing gets finished). Download this and save it to C:\Windows\system32\
Then go to Run in the start menu and type "regsvr32.exe mscomm32.ocx." (Omit the quotation marks and period)
That should make it work for you.

Alright tried it out, this is what I got.
First, when I try to start the car with the AFMLink plugged into the SerialLink the car will start for 1sec and then die. When I plug the AFMLink into the Tuning Handheld it starts up fine. But when I do this, the CPT program logs what happens. So ok, I start it up with the Tuning Handheld connected then take it out and connect it to the SerialLink and start up CPT's program but it won't datalog anything, it is just a blank screen...Also when I try to save it shows:
Run-time error "339":
Component "comdlg32.ocx" or one of its dependencies not currently registered: a file is missing or invalid.
BUT when I do the same thing (Start it with the Tuning and then hook it up to SerialLink) and open the regular ComLink program it says writing file but when I go to open the file (change it to .txt right?) it shows up blank.
Try'in to get this thing workin asap so I hope someone can solve the problem

I'm not sure if this helps with your problem,but my car starts immediately with handheld tuning device connected,but with SerialLink it needs at least three attempts and runs very roughly for several seconds ( and needs some gas pedal pumping ) before smoothening.I haven't dared to switch between handheld and SerialLink with engine running,I've always switched it off just to be sure...

Leave the ignition in the second position for ten seconds, then start. And do it with the datalogging software open already, it just takes a little time to "load things" i think.

For me, when the SerialLink is plugged in and the car is cold, the car runs pretty lean so pushing on the accelerator will make it die quicker. If anything, push on the accelerator a very small amount and see if that helps or hinders the car's starting.
