3) Probably. Did you flash anyone's tune into the procede? If so we need to change a channel on it.

4) if you didn't load anything? Let's Load one in!

5) yup! That's an interesting side effect of almost all the tunes.

6) when I'm modifying my throttle mapping I have a usb connected to my procede that goes to my laptop. For your version of the procede you would need a rs232 to usb wire. And just leave it connected and run the wire to your glove box. By doing that you can view what's happening to your procede as you are driving.


This will also helps us if it's your taps or the procede being incorrectly set.

Also triple check your connections at the controller: specifically the rc jr connectors. (The connectors labeled for procede/ fts throttle switch.)

Make sure the color wires line up correctly.

Let us know how it goes.

Sojhinn,

Thank you for the quick response!

1) I got nothin' on how I got this to happen. Oh well. It hasn't happened since so I must have corrected it, although I'm not a fan of not knowing how I fixed something. I'll be double checking the ESC system connections.

2) Where would I find the steps to reactivate the gear indicator? Is that perhaps in a post by steve99? He seems to be a wellspring of knowledge in that regard.

3) So I didn't flash my PROcede controller at all. I soldered up the wire harness as you show in your video, with the exception of connecting the black signal wire to the PROcede connector that shipped with the ESC .

4) I am planning on connecting up my PROcede to my PC (yes a PC, not a laptop ), which should be an interesting exercise (i.e., moving my 20lb+ tower and a monitor over to my car ). This is why my last question was a semi-rant. Oh well.

5) Thanks for the confirmation. It would seem then that the raspiness associated with the 93 Oct ESC 2.0 tune is not harming the engine? I would generally expect not given that, from what I've read, Shiv has made the OTS tunes safe for this application. I'm only just starting to learn more about engine tuning so I am at a loss to otherwise convince myself of this by analyzing data logs and such.

6) Again

And of course I forgot to ask it in my last post, but do you or anyone else experience the weird sort of scratchy electrical noise coming from under the manifold cover when turning the ignition to the ON mode? I forgot to mention that while my Odyssey battery was at about 12.4VDC, my stock battery was at 12.8VDC so I'm left wondering if 0.4VDC is causing something to act up, which based on my understanding of electronics, seems like that shouldn't necessarily be the case.

I'm planning on flashing back to the 93 Oct ESC 2.0 tune and reinstalling the ESC with the FTS (I was back to stock over concern about the ESC not spinning up on startup and the OTS tune). I'll probably have to wait until this weekend to connect the PROcede up and see if it has a throttle map loaded into it.

Again, thanks for the quick response. Along with Robftss's development ethos and dedication to creating something that is focused on affordability and performance, yours and others (e.g., fenton et al) enthusiasm and support to the community of users, users-in-waiting, and others ultimately motivated me to pull the trigger when my turn came up.
