Adjust the pins of your cable to get connection. This takes just a very small twist. The factory obd2 connector pins spread a hair if you hook things to it often. Or you can unpin the factory obd2 connector and adjust pin fit there.

My other OBD reader works 100% of the time. I've played with the connector a bunch, wiggling/etc, when it was working it was pretty stout, it could just be pulled out easily because it was so loose fitting. The problem is definitely something with the cable or electronics in the cable or the something in the ECU specific that the ECUTek is connecting to that my other stuff doesn't try to connect to. I'm really not sure what it is until I try a new ECUTek cable.... I'll let you all know! |

I know it sounds daft but have you tried a different USB port? Mine will disconnect occasionally in my USB3 port if it moves about but not in either of my USB2 ports.

I'm using two different laptops, same behavior. ECUTek instructed me to reduce my selected values to monitor, I'll be testing that today.

What is everybody doing for catch cans? AOS? Single? Double? Vent to atm? What brand? I've always thought of them as engine bay "bling", but now, the more I think about it, the more I'm afraid that there is a good chance of gunking up that intercooler inside the manifold over time.
I ended up going with Saikou Michi, which I'm very pleased with and would highly recommend. You get custom hose barb sizing, inlet/outlet rotation and mounting for a surprisingly affordable price. My plan was to leave all my existing edelbrock hoses unmodified and they were able to provide everything i needed to splice the can in. Mr. Saikou was very helpful by email and answered all my questions and provided great design feedback. About my only complaint was the long lead time, but I guess that's what happens when its semi-custom and built to order. Plus it doesn't hurt that the color scheme matches the manifold nicely! |

I was able to sneak the tool between the runners and got that clamp on in 5 mins. Before installing, I stuck my finger into the PCV barb and inside the hose. Didn't feel any oil but lots of soot. I'm pretty gentle with my car and I only have a 12 mi commute to work everyday, so its no surprise. This whole thing was more for peace of mind than anything. |

A quick shout out to Edelbrock for the awesome customer service. I noticed my idler had some wobble to it and my E-Force name plate was starting to pull away from the airbox. I sent an email about these items, and they took care of replacing them without hesitation!

I think you've already seen mine, but it's a single can mounted in a similar spot to you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
